Making King Henry V

The film follows the Artistic Director of Salt House Theatre Company as they embark on a two-year journey to bring a new version of Henry V to life. With just nine actors and minimal props, the team faces the daunting task of refining the script and preparing for a performance in a brief rehearsal period.

As the process unfolds, the film highlights the collaboration with established Australian Shakespearean directors who assist in shaping the adaptation. The timeline is tight, with only two and a half weeks of rehearsal before the performance on August 16th. The film captures the tension and excitement of this creative endeavor, focusing on whether the cast can bond and deliver a successful performance in such limited time.

This documentary appeals to collectors interested in theater, Shakespeare adaptations, and the behind-the-scenes workings of a production. It's a unique look into the world of theater-making and the dedication required to stage a classic work.
