The Merely Players

One of the most exciting new Shakespeare companies in the UK, Merely Theatre has honed a style that strips the Bard back to basics - no gauche sets, frilly collars or fussy props: just the actors, the audience and the text.

Using gender-blind casting, they present Shakespeare’s classic works, each condensed to just 90 minutes.

Henry V is an exciting, humorous and profound portrait of the birth of modern England.
