Production shots from the return of Antic Disposition’s phenomenal First World War reimagining of Shakespeare’s Henry V.
The show plays in the new — but typically atmospheric — climes of London’s Middle Temple Hall to 6 April before embarking on a tour of English cathedrals.
Publicity shots of the wonderful Freddie Stewart and Floriane Andersen, shot for the forthcoming tour of Antic Disposition’s World-War-I-based take on Shakespeare’s Henry V.
The tour begins in London on 26 March before visiting some of the nation’s great cathedrals, before bowing out at the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Theatre company Antic Disposition have returned to Temple Church with a new — and rather beautiful — production of Shakespeare’s Henry V, fresh from their tour in France. Some of the production shots below.
The show runs in the legal cathedral to Saturday 5 September.
Incidentally, the photos may give the impression that the play has a Wagnerian running time. I can assure you that it doesn’t and zips along. Because of the venue we shoot the production shots slightly differently from the way they’d be done in a theatre, so I get the rare chance to photograph the show first in daylight and again after dark.
