The death of a national sweetheart.
A friendship tested by a bloody act.
An infamous production of Shakespeare's Henry V.
A tell-all dark comedy that peels back the skin of English cultural identity to reveal the steaming battlefields that lies beneath. Would you die for your country?
★★★★★ 'Astutely silly' (Reviews Hub)
★★★★★ 'Relatable and enjoyable' (Mind The Blog)
★★★★★ (The Greatest Pause)
From rehearsal room microaggressions, to the battlefields of France, into the bureaucracy of applying for citizenship, Shakespeare's Globe Ensemble veterans Nina Bowers and Philip Arditti explore their histories alongside England's own as unwilling actors in a national story.
One of the aims of the company (RealFake) and Camden People's Theatre is to keep the arts as affordable and accessible as possible. It was really important to us to be able to offer an online version of the show for those who are vulnerable, isolating and/or not comfortable in busy venues. Thanks to funding from the City Bridge Foundation, we have been able to make a streaming version possible, including captions.
When booking, please disregard the date/time. After you've purchased your ticket, you will have access to the stream on demand at any time until 26th July. Please select the 'Print at Home' ticket option when booking. Your ticket containing the link will be emailed to you from foh@cptheatre.co.uk a few minutes after your confirmation email arrives.

A RealFake and Camden People's Theatre co-production. Commissioned by Camden People's Theatre and supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Old Diorama Arts Centre.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
