The Reviews Are In...

Here are a few things the Ithaca Journal had to say about Henry V:

"This game of thrones tale splendidly revisits the 1415 Battle of Agincourt and the enterprising exploits of the former Prince Hal...intrigue and action abound. The program's excellent notes supply the complicated historical background, but the storyline is easily followed onstage...

"Nick Shuhan...assumes the complex role of Henry with both passion and grace. The lynchpin of the action and of this production, he's expressive in gesture, clear in articulation, regal in his certainty and bearing. Whether he's wooing the French princess, inspiring his "band of brothers" in Shakespeare's famous rousing speeches, or studying his soldiers while disguised, he's utterly persuasive.

"The king's followers, high and low, and their Gallic adversaries admirably people this tale...Jack Sherman is brilliantly comic as Fluellen, the feisty, by-the-book Welsh captain, both loved and mocked...

"Though the play has occupied what Shakespeare calls "small time," we've been roused to feel the scope and sweep of history, its bittersweet and off-tragic stakes."
