Henry V and The Prussian Officer- Edinburgh Preview Double Bill
William Shakespeare: Henry V
A single actor takes the field in this electrifying retelling of Shakespeare’s Henry V, embodying kings, comrades, and enemies alike. With nothing but language, imagination, and sheer force of performance, the epic story of power, war, and responsibility is distilled to its beating heart.
Thrones rise and fall, battles roar, and doubts whisper in the shadows as one man channels the voices of an entire world. Intimate yet monumental, Ben Mills-Wood’s interpretation of Henry V strips away spectacle to reveal the cost of leadership, the thrill of rhetoric, and the fragile humanity behind a legendary king.
D.H. Lawrence: The Prussian Officer
Power. Desire. Control. Set within a harsh military world, The Prussian Officer charts the explosive relationship between a young orderly and his commanding officer. What starts as obedience twists into dangerous obsession as authority and attraction collide. Ben Mills‑Wood’s charged new adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s story shines a fierce light on repression, class, and the human cost of desire denied. With striking performances and bold direction, this taut psychological drama reveals how passion, when silenced, becomes destructive — a gripping battle between control and surrender that leaves lasting scars.
