El Henry at La Jolla Playhouse

A FUTURISTIC, SITE-BASED ADAPTATION OF SHAKESPEARE'S HENRY IV, PART 1

It’s the year 2045 in a huge, run-down metropolis called Aztlan City (formerly San Diego), where political apathy and corruption run the city while violent barrio families run the streets. Written in Calo, a unique poetic cadence that mixes urban Spanish and English slang, and performed outdoors in an urban street environment – this world premiere adaptation is Shakespeare for the 21st Century.
