| | Bolder and still more bold: An ambitious Shakespeare project at the Guthrie Theater |
The Guthrie Theater revisits its repertory roots with an ambitious production of Shakespeare’s “Henriad.”
The three shows — “Richard II,” “Henry IV” and “Henry V” — are part of Shakespeare's history plays, and tell a large, interconnected epic about the British Crown. They will be performed in rotating repertory — a type of theater that sees a single company of actors performing multiple shows during the same production period, sometimes on the same day. | |
