Phenomenal acting. A little long (almost three hours)but certainly worth going to see. Wonderful theater company. Wonderful directing.

'Henry V' runs a full 2:50 with one 15 min intermission [snacks sold & some guests brought their own]. Considering the small space, the lighting/sound/costumes are very effective and lend atmospheric substance to a production with minimalist sets.
The acting was good and I was drawn into the familiar plot quite easily.
The theatre was very easy to find and is in a strip mall with ample free parking. The marquee above the entrance is well lit and easy to see from a distance. You will enter through, how shall i put it?...an adult themed retail shop [fun/campy] and can access will call with the cashier behind the counter. Once your hand is stamped you proceed down a short hallway into the actual 99 seat/8 row theatre and select your own comfortably padded seat w/cup holder.

A hard-working and talented cast presented this play with strong feeling. Even I who knows next to nothing about Shakespeare enjoyed the experience. My hearing is a little impaired, but I sat in the middle of the front row where I heard everything. I didn't understand everything, though, on account of the theatrical delivery. People more knowledgeable about Shakespeare would have understood the presentation better than I did.
I enjoyed the play enough to recommend it to two good friends.

"Straight up - it is time to remember honor and glory," explains John Beane. "We are presenting this, the most heroic of the histories, as a reminder of potential. We have spent the last season exploring the underbelly, rolling in the dirt, the sexual, the beautiful - it is time to remember where we come from. The quest for the divine. And the idea of victory in even the most impossible circumstances..."
