Henry the Fifth

Heinrich der Fünfte

Henry is young when he becomes the king of England. The country is rundown, the treasuries are empty and the people are unhappy. Being king there simply isn’t so easy. And, if all of that weren’t enough, he is also starting off a long war against France. Using a cardboard castle and hand puppets, Annika Schaper and Robert Richter tell a story that is encouraging. A story about someone whose power becomes too much for him, about a courageous princess who refuses to simply stand and look on and instead takes her own fate into her hands and about a narrator, who would actually prefer to just keep themself out of everything. But can they do that, can they watch a war take place without getting involved? Notes on accessibility: Information about the accessibility of the venue in structural terms can be found here.
