"The ground rolls by. There is nothing so, but the contour and foot adjusting and then, step again. It’s work, and you get somewhere before you know it." So says Alice near the opening of Richard Maxwell’s new play about war and loss and the dim time between the end of one and the reckoning with the other. This latest work brings to the stage a world set between Shakespeare’s Henry IV part 1 and Henry IV part 2. It is set in Wales, in the aftermath of the Battle of Shrewsbury, in which the Lancastrian King, Henry, has defeated a rebel army.

Cast includes Victoria Vazquez, Rafael Sanchez, Bob Feldman, Tom King, Alex Delinois, Jim Fletcher, Gary Wilmes.
Design by Lara Furniss.
Directed by Brian Mendes.
Co-produced by Project Arts Centre, Dublin.

"And dare I say it? — I have the feeling that this work comes closer than Shakespeare and certainly closer than any period costume movie, in making 21st-century audiences feel what it must have been like to be a foot soldier in the early 15th century." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
