H4

Synopsis:
Prince Hal, the future King Henry V, is hiding from his destiny in the darkest, seediest outreaches of society. Hal must learn to adapt to the ways of being a king, or be engulfed by the onslaught of the fierce conspiracy against his father's reign. The production will conjure the ferocious characters and ancient power struggle, framed for a modern, fast-paced, media-driven audience, dancing the lines between theatre, television, and film.
