ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH,
DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE
— Act 3, Scene 1
By William Shakespeare
Director Marion Potts
Set and Costume Designer Anna Tregloan
Composer and Sound Designer Jethro Woodward
With JK Kazzi, Odile le Clézio, Jack Halabi, Alex Kirwan, Ava Madon, Ella Prince, Jo Turner and Mararo Wangai
Young Prince Hal has left his wayward adolescence behind and assumed the mantle of kingship. Following a humiliating insult by the French prince, King Henry launches England into a war with France to claim the throne he believes is rightfully his.
Against all odds, he leads his troops from despair to climactic victory at the Battle of Agincourt. He is hailed a warrior and a hero. But at what cost?
This riveting new production is directed by Marion Potts (OTHELLO, HAMLET) who returns to Bell Shakespeare after 15 years, and stars dynamic newcomer JK Kazzi.
