King Henry V

With only 11 players, two musicians, and the sparest of stage trappings, the Austin Shakespeare Festival's production of King Henry V provides a sweeping panorama of life during wartime, one that has much to say to a nation at war today.

"...and our current commander in chief. ASF Artistic Director Guy Roberts clearly comprehends that George is not Henry, Baghdad..."

Hamlet: Words, Words, Words

Despite the presence of a talented ensemble, the Austin Shakespeare Festival production of what most of the English-speaking world considers the greatest play ever written is a thin Hamlet of watered-down performances and even more diluted directorial choices.
