The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre, under the new leadership of Mary Ruth Stewart, in collaboration with Shake on the Lake presents Henry V , sponsored by Arkansas Tech University's College of Arts and Humanities and the River Valley Arts Center.
Shake on the Lake brings its signature fast, fun, and physical approach to Shakespeare by creating a performance spectacle by our stellar company of five professional Arkansas-based artists, doubling and tripling roles, making Henry V a theatrical tour de force!
Henry V is a story of a reluctant leader, one who is thrust into a position of power, rebels against it, but ultimately sees the importance of self-sacrifice for the people and the good of the nation. With the help of friends, foes, and ghosts from the past, including the comic knight, Sir John Falstaff, Henry V takes us on journey through English history against their bitter foe, France, culminating in Henry's infamous St. Crispin's Day speech before the historic Battle of Agincourt.
