REVIEW: The Shakespeare standard: 

"The staging was simple and the cast, small (eight actors with anywhere from two to eight parts per actor), which sets off nicely the infamous 'O for a Muse of fire' prologue. The tone of this production was playful, with a blurring of past and present lines.

The actors elegantly transitioned among their roles, utilizing red costuming for the British and blue for the French. The most interesting doubling was that of Henry and the Dauphin, with the actor switching from a strong, determined Henry to a foppish and selfish Dauphin. "
