Donmar’s Henry V

Pretty strong, positive reviews for this production, especially Kit Harrington. Sounds like some interesting interpretive choices have been made. Would be happy to see this transfer (maybe St. Ann’s?).


One of my all time favorite theatre going experiences was seeing Kevin Kline take on the title role - at the Delacourte if aim not mistaken.

I think it's interesting that depending on which review you read, Harington's Henry is either seen as an authoritarian figure or a figure standing against authoritarian figure a la Zelensky.

As far as a transfer goes, the reviews I've read describe the show has having a LOT of very British iconography in its production - incorporation of St. George's Cross into the set, etc.... I'm not sure if that would play the same in the States.
