Now playing thru May 11!

After a critically acclaimed co-production of Richard II, Shakespeare returns to The Pear with Henry V. This electrifying, immersive production will transform Shakespeare’s timeless epic into a searing meditation on leadership and morality.

After an insult from the French Dauphin, King Henry V of England invades France to claim the throne he believes should be his. Henry stops an assassination plot, gives powerful speeches, and wins battles against the odds. In the end, he woos and marries the Princess of France, linking the two nations.
