Henry V, 1997, An early production at the restored Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: Mark Rylance as Henry V; Director Richard Olivie
"There are ravishing costumes, three entrances, a trap-door and a balcony. That's all. In a way it restricts the action, bringing us close to the dramatic circumstances for which it was written." Robert Butler, Independent on Sunday 8.6.97 Opening Date: 27 May 1997
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
This production aimed at recovering the exact production values of the original one, including rushes on the stage, which proved very inconvenient. HMR
