HENRY V

BELL SHAKESPEARE
SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE | ARTS CENTRE MELBOURNE | CANBERRA THEATRE CENTRE

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?

COMMON GROUND

CHUNKY MOVE

A ritualistic battleground for two dance greats, Common Ground is a choreographic game of chess. Inspired by political feuds, historical showdowns and the intricate, moment-to-moment recalibrations required of any partnership, the work explores how supposed rules can be upturned by unexpected moves—intricate gambits, sacrifices and reactive attacks.
