Main Street Theater and Prague Shakespeare Company Present HENRY V in March and April

Main Street Theater collaborates for the second time with international partner Prague Shakespeare Company to present Shakespeare's Henry V. Featuring live Taiko musicians and an ensemble of 14 actors, the production will run in Houston in March and April and in Prague in the fall. MST and PSF produced Shakespeare's Richard III last season which was critically acclaimed both in Houston and in Prague.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers / For he today that sheds his blood with me / Shall be my brother..." (Shakespeare). Henry V is Shakespeare's majestic yet raw and utterly human take on war and its profound impact on those affected by it. Says director Guy Roberts, "The play is a powerful exploration of leadership, courage, and the human experience of battle. Intensely patriotic while at the same time questioning the morality of war, Shakespeare's tale of a young king seeking to heal his wounded land and unite his people is a play for our time."

With previews March 16, 17, and 20, Henry V opens March 21 and runs through April 21 at MST - Rice Village, 2540 Times Blvd. Performances are on Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets start at $20, depending on date and section. Tickets are on sale in person at the Main Street Theater Box Office, 2540 Times Blvd., via phone at 713.524.6706, or online at www.mainstreettheater.com.
