A first look at Henry V playing at the Two River Theater
Two River Theater Company 21 Bridge Ave. Red Bank, N.J. Assembles a Colorful Cast for a Not Your Ordinary Shakespearean Experience running Oct. 20- Nov.11. Set in the late 1950′s and early ’60′s this HIP production of the classic Elizabethan tale has plenty of flavor.

The Two River Theater continues its season with William Shakespeare’s Henry V.
About King Henry V
Shakespeare’s timeless history play combines political intrigue, comedy, and romance. King Henry (played by Jacob Fishel, Roundabout’s The Common Pursuit, The Public’s Titus Andronicus) stakes his claim to rule France, having inherited the English throne after a wild adolescent past. After dispatching a small group of traitors among his troops, he and his loyal army win decisive-and surprising-victories against their enemies. Henry marries the daughter of the defeated King’s daughter, bringing the promise of future peace to both countries. Suzzanne Douglas (Two River’s In This House, Broadway’s 3 Penny Opera) plays the Chorus and four additional parts, and the entire acting ensemble plays multiple roles.
Production
The production will unfold on an elegant, open set featuring large moving panels inspired by the seminal artist Mark Rothko and designed by Andromache Chalfant, and will feature mid-century-modern costumes designed by Tilly Grimes.
Filled with rousing speeches that build to an epic battle, Henry V is often seen as a reflection of the time in which it is produced-an expression either of heroism and patriotism, or the grim realities of war. Michael Sexton, Artistic Director of The Shakespeare Society in New York, sees the play as an exploration of individual responsibility and collective action.
Henry V runs now until November 11th. For ticket information, please visit trtc.org
