HENRY IV

St Ann’s Warehouse, New York
6 November – 13 December 2015

In 2012 Phyllida Lloyd’s all-female production of JULIUS CAESAR stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. In autumn 2014, HENRY IV returned us to the women’s prison, forming the second instalment of what will now be a trilogy of Prison Shakespeares.

This major event, accompanied by a far-reaching programme of outreach and engagement projects, has ignited a cultural and social conversation about gender, equality and aspiration. The Donmar and St Ann’s Warehouse now reunite to bring HENRY IV to Brooklyn, New York, with Lloyd’s revelatory staging being the inaugural production in St Ann’s thrilling new space.

★★★★★ “Phyllida Lloyd’s tremendous all-women Henry IV roughs up expectations on front after front.” Observer

★★★★★ “An urgent, mischievous and subtly layered response to Shakespeare’s great plays...revelatory.” Financial Times
