Henry the Fift by Original Practice Shakespeare Festival
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Hal’s all grown up. The Dauphin mocks Hal with tennis balls. War starts between England and France. Meanwhile, Falstaffe's dead, so Pistoll takes over. Buddies Bardolph and Nym get hanged for stealing, and Pistoll is force-fed a leek. Henry wins the war but must now woo a wife. In French.
OPS Fest brings no-cost repertory Shakespeare to parks and venues throughout the Portland Metro area. The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter. In Shakespeare's Era, the audience knew the actors had not rehearsed and that the only context each had of the play was their own role on a scroll. The play was as fresh to the actors as the audience.
