Heavily grounded in theatrical story-telling, Salt Lake Shakes’ current production of Hank Cinq (Henry V) presents this massive history in 85 minutes—using six actors who play thirty-five characters. The actors are available for a Q/A after the performance. Our goal is to tell great stories so that anyone and everyone can connect with those stories—and identify with the characters.
“Henry V is considered Shakespeare's most famous war play, and the most interesting biographical account of the English monarchy. The story revolves around the life ofKing Henry V (Hal), the young rebel prince from the Henry IV plays, who has become the King of England and gains heroic recognition for his defeat of the French at Agincourt. While the Henry IV plays deal with the grooming of Prince Hal, Henry V displays the results of his upbringing. King Henry is a cunning and shrewd military leader whose ruthless pursuit to overtake France is no less victorious than his desire to seduce the French Princess Katherine for his bride. The spirit of King Henry and his tireless ambition are proven in such famous speeches as his Saint Crispin's Day address to the troupes before going to battle. The play explores King Henry's struggles to overcome his past and the sins of his predecessors.
