HENRY V

by William Shakespeare

Directed by Jim Cairl

2026 Shakespeare in the Park

Henry, the young and newly crowned king, is impatient to assert control over the people of England. Having received a humiliating gift from overseas, his bruised ego leads him to double down on a military invasion abroad in a bid to expand his green and pleasant land. But at what devastating cost? Witness Henry’s bombastic pursuit of power… “The game’s afoot!”

Join us ON the Town Park Stage for one of our town’s most beloved traditions.

WHAT TO KNOW:

- We are so lucky for our cool Telluride nights; please bring layers, coats, blankets to keep warm. 

- The audience is seated ON town park stage, UNDER the roof, so the show will go on, even if it is raining. 

- No need to bring your own chairs, we have seating provided for everyone.
