Propeller
Leading actor and director Edward Hall, is to tackle his role as Artistic Director of Propeller with a new touring season throughout the UK. Hall will direct Henry V and The Winter’s Tale, which will tour nationally and internationally.
The productions will then tour Cheltenham (Everyman Theatre), Guildford (Henry V only), Brighton (Henry V only), Milton Keynes (Henry V only), Sheffield (The Winter’s Tale only), Canterbury, Newbury, Newcastle, Coventry, Norwich, Plymouth and the Hampstead Theatre, London.
Led by Director Edward Hall, internationally acclaimed all-male company, Propeller returns to the road following their highly praised UK tour of Richard III and The Comedy Of Errors. Renowned for combining a rigorous approach to the text with an exciting, physical aesthetic, Propeller engages its audience’s imagination and brings fresh understanding to classic plays.
Propeller’s new production of Henry V tells the tale of the greatest British warrior in English folklore. In a time when nationalism is at its most dangerous and exciting and increasing numbers of British servicemen and women are seeing active service, Propeller brings its own unique take on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. Thrilling and deeply moving, Henry V marks the beginning of a journey that takes us from the corridors of Westminster to the fields of France in an evening of unforgettable power.
A tragic fairytale, The Winter’s Tale tells the mysterious and extraordinary story of a man consumed by an inexplicable jealousy that destroys his family, his kingdom and himself. Wracked with guilt, Leontes sets off a chain reaction of events that leads to a miraculous climax and the chance of redemption. This is a re-visiting of Propeller’s highly-acclaimed 2005 production.
