ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE

Leadership, rhetoric, charisma and honour are placed under the microscope in this riveting new production from Bell Shakespeare.

Young Prince Hal has left his wayward adolescence behind and assumed the mantle of kingship. Following a humiliating insult by the French prince, King Henry launches England into a war with France to claim the throne he believes is rightfully his. Against all odds, he leads his troops from despair to climactic victory at the Battle of Agincourt. He is hailed a warrior and a hero. But at what cost?

With "captivating" (Sydney Morning Herald) performances featuring some of the country's finest young actors, and "sharp... intelligent and engaging" (Sydney Arts Guide) direction from Marion Potts, this "fierce, thought-provoking, and deeply unsettling exploration of the true cost of war" (Theatre Now) is not to be missed.
