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. Videography by ChewBoy Productions.

“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
