Guthrie Theater of Minneapolis and The Acting Company of New York City—two of America’s great theatrical organizations—co-produce and perform Shakespeare’s epic King Henry V. Young, restless, and ambitious, Henry V inherits a troubled crown and seeks to secure his position at home by invading France. The charismatic warrior king’s aggressive pursuit of the French crown earns him iconic status, uniting England and France and briefly banishing the civil strife that will long outlive him. Balancing the heroics of battle with the painful and complex reactions of men unsure of the justice of their cause, Henry V is a story of the power of courage and the price of glory. The Guthrie, founded in 1963, presents classical literature and new works from diverse cultures. Since 1972 The Acting Company has performed more than 125 productions for audiences in forty-eight states and nine foreign countries.
