Commentaires : Il s'agit de la première mise en scène de Nycholas Hytner durant sa direction au National, mais aussi la première fois que Henry V de Shakespeare est présenté au national!
Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "This is a rare Henry V, convincingly revalued and redefined." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "This is absolutely a Henry V for our age." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Adrian Lester, recently a fine Hamlet and now a vivid, vital Henry." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "For dramatic power, contemporary resonance and sheer wit, this Henry V is bang on target." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Adrian Lester's powerful, charismatic Henry is evidently overcompensating for his reckless youth in a determined and sustained display of humourless righteousness."
