Murphys Creek Theatre

June 12 – July 5 2026

A historical masterclass in 4D chess. Drunkard and royal embarrassment, Prince Hal, sheds his shallow reputation and leads 8,000 English soldiers against 25,000 French soldiers at the Battle of Azincourt. Witness the inspiration for every great action film as only Shakespeare can tell it.

Set amidst a modern backdrop, MCT returns to its origins with what many call the Bard’s most powerful and poetic history play. Courage, doubt, loyalty, and the human cost of war, Henry V asks what leadership requires, what it sacrifices, and what it means for those asked to follow. It’s basically Braveheart on stage, but with all the sad stuff cut out.

This show is produced in tandem with our Summer on Stage: The Mirror Project youth program, which continues MCT’s long tradition with Shakespeare and marks our first time bringing Henry V to our stage.

Whether you love Shakespeare or think you don’t, this is the one to see.
