Hollywood actor Jude Law stars in Shakespeare’s bloody Henry V, the grand finale in Michael Grandage’s sell-out season at the Noel Coward Theatre. Taking place across 2012-2013, Grandage has directed a series of plays that have seen famous faces Judi Dench, Ben Whishaw, David Walliams, Sheridan Smith and Daniel Radcliffe grace the stage. Now, Law takes on the role of the famous King in Shakespeare’s well-known play about nationhood.
Investigating the bloody horrors of war and a turbulent land in crisis, Henry V follows the brutish, arrogant and tightly-wound King, who itches to start a fight with the Dauphin of France. When the resulting Battle of Agincourt leaves Henry V victorious, he is forced to tread the fine line between capturing France and losing England in the process. As Henry takes on a disguise to determine his popularity with his troops, he learns a lot more than a thought. A celebration of England’s military might, Shakespeare’s play takes a hard look at the bloody horror of conflict.
Henry V sees Law and Grandage reunite for the third time, their collaboration beginning in 2009 with Hamlet, and continuing with Anna Christie at the Donmar Warehouse.
