    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?

    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.

    Visual impairment accessible performance:

    Made possible by the post-Enhance programme delivered by accessible theatre company Extant - including pre-show Touch Tour with delivery of programme notes. This 30-minute touch tour takes place on Friday 10th May at 6.15pm.

    Relaxed performances will have:

    - Heightened lighting where audiences sit in the auditorium

    - A 'chill-out' room where audiences can go to if they need quiet time during the show

    - Very loud noises or music might be turned down or specific movements or lines might be adapted slightly.

    - A visual story

    All performances are chilled performances: A chilled performance takes a more casual approach to noise and movement in the auditorium, but the performance itself is unchanged. This performance is ideal for people who feel more at ease knowing they can go in and out of the auditorium during the show. This performance is for everybody.

    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.
