Illyria Theatre present  "Henry V" by William Shakespeare
 
Cry God for Harry, England and St George!
 
Many companies offer open-air Shakespeare. But only Illyria Theatre has won 4 International Awards for their Shakespeare productions. 
 
In 2012,  Illyria celebrates its 20th anniversary, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and 'a minor sporting event in London' with Shakespeare's most popular historical drama.
 
Full of patriotism, pageantry and poetry, it tells the gripping story of an inexperienced king who leads a small and weakened army into the battle of Agincourt against the might of the French battalions. With towering odds stacked against them the English win a sweeping victory.
 
But after such an extraordinary military conquest, how will Henry fare with the greatest challenge of all - the conquest of Princess Catherine's heart?
 
This stirring play has twice been the subject of major film adaptations, one starring Laurence Olivier and another starring Kenneth Branagh. Brimming with excitement, romance and a surprising amount of comedy it is now performed by Illyria, as originally written, with a reduced cast and on a stage inspired by those of the mediaeval touring troupes.
