"Cry God for Harry, England and St. George and look forward to another hundred years of Shakespeare in the City!"
Review from Derby Evening Telegraph
The second production, following 'King Lear', of our centenary year took us back to the beautiful grounds of Derby Grammar School and the spectacular Minack Theatre in Porthcurno.
Ian Arnot's production was traditional but accessible and featured a compelling central performance from Chris Scott in the role of the titular King at war with France.
With its legendary rousing speeches, dramatic battle scenes and themes of triumph and glory this production was a perfect way to celebrate the first 100 years of Derby Shakespeare Theatre Company. A timeless classic play that resonates back to the very beginnings of DSTC and beyond to the golden age of Elizabethan theatre and British history. Here's to 100 more glorious years of Derby Shakespeare!
