English Kings Killing Foreigners

Camden Peoples Theatre

The death of a national sweetheart. 
A friendship tested by a bloody act. 
An infamous production of Shakespeare's Henry V. 

A tell-all dark comedy that peels back the skin of English cultural identity to reveal the steaming battlefields that lies beneath. Would you die for your country?

From rehearsal room microaggressions, to the battlefields of France, into the bureaucracy of applying for citizenship, Shakespeare's Globe Ensemble veterans Nina Bowers and Philip Arditti explore their histories alongside England's own as unwilling actors in a national story.
