Preview: Henry V at The Off Center [Theatre]

England’s most storied and inspirational warrior king is revealed in a new, one-man adaptation of the Shakespeare history starring B. Iden Payne Award-winning actor/director and Austin Chronicle Arts Editor Robert Faires. Over the course of 75 minutes, with only a few household props, he leads the audience from Henry’s throne across the English Channel into the French court, through a fearful war and into one of the most charming wooing scenes in Shakespeare.

She has directed Taming of the Shrew and Titus Andronicus for the Illinois Shakespeare Festival. Lighting design is by Jason Amato and sound design by William Meadows.

Henry V runs at the Off-Center, Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 5pm, July 2-July 25 with a special 4th of July performance at 5pm with complimentary champagne and sparklers.
