Henry 5

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH,
DEAR FRIENDS, ONCE MORE
— Act 3, Scene 1

By William Shakespeare
Director Marion Potts
Set and Costume Designer Anna Tregloan
Composer and Sound Designer Jethro Woodward
With JK Kazzi, Odile le Clézio, Jack Halabi, Alex Kirwan, Ava Madon, Ella Prince, Jo Turner and Mararo Wangai

Young Prince Hal has left his wayward adolescence behind and assumed the mantle of kingship. Following a humiliating insult by the French prince, King Henry launches England into a war with France to claim the throne he believes is rightfully his.

Against all odds, he leads his troops from despair to climactic victory at the Battle of Agincourt. He is hailed a warrior and a hero. But at what cost?

This riveting new production is directed by Marion Potts (Othello, Hamlet) who returns to Bell Shakespeare after 15 years, and stars dynamic newcomer JK Kazzi.

Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Waitress the Musical
There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
