2. HENRY V by William Shakespeare: On the morning of October 25th 1415, a small band of English soldiers rose to face their almost certain death on the field of Agincourt. Outnumbered three-to-one by the massed forces of France, England’s King Henry V is confronted with the brutal realisation that there is no glory to be found in the theatre of war, only death. Details
3. Shadow Theatre presents Annapurna: Twenty years ago Emma walked out on Ulysses, her cowboy-poet husband. But now Ulysses is in dire need of help and despite her better judgment Emma tracks him down to a trailer park in the wilds of Colorado. Their comic and conflicted reunion is full of barbed wire wit and brutal honesty.
