Lazarus Theatre's All-Female HENRY V Cast Announced; Play Runs Nov 11-29

Lazarus Theatre Company are incredibly proud to announce the company for our all female production of Shakespeare's Henry V, the final offering in our yearlong celebration marking the 450th anniversary of the Bard's birth.

Returning to the company to play the heroic and triumphant King Henry is Colette O'Rourke. Colette's previous Lazarus credits include Jessica in The Merchant of Venice at The Brockely Jack in 2013, and Cressida in Troilus and Cressida at The Tristan Bates Theatre in 2014.

"The opportunity to play such a significant Shakespearian and historical character is thrilling, especially one that is usually reserved for the boys. I don't think opportunities like this come round that often" Colette O'Rourke on Henry V casting.
