SWEET HENRY V
Born to be King. Dying to be free.
This party boi trashbag is about to break history.
It’s 1413, witness the glow up as Sweet Henry V (it’s pronounced Vee, actually) transforms from playboy prince to the most famous warrior king in British history. All he has to do is defeat the douchebag, Prince of Wales, Owain Glyndwr.
Watch as the anointed King and rebel Prince go head-to-head in this hilarious and heart-rending new musical that shines a spotlight on the most human of struggles; the quest to find out who we are and where we belong.
This script in hand, concert performance unravels an epic romance saga between Henry V and O G. Featuring a live band with over thirty original numbers; including bangin’ medieval tunes like “A-Hole”, “Naked out Here” and “I’m Your Man”, that will make you want to lift your goblet in the air and dance like you just don’t care.
Imagine if Shakespeare’s History Plays donned their lippy and heels and were taken out for a night on the tiles. We’re talking Hamilton meets Braveheart meets Priscilla Queen of the Desert in this radical reinvention of history that’s pounding with camp Celtic vibes.
Directed by The Rep’s Artistic Director, Joe Murphy.
