And for our first show back in the ruins, we will be bringing you Shakespeare’s historical masterpiece:
Henry V
Set against the backdrop of The Great War, and picking up where last year’s Henry IV left off, audiences will follow the young King Henry as he fulfills his destiny to become England’s legendary warrior king, navigating both political minefields and the battlefields of war in his quest to conquer France.
Opening Night: Thursday, May 31 2012

From the common foot soldier, to the high ranking officers, Shakespeare paints us a compelling portrait of the many lives affected by war, serving up plenty of gallows humour, and a story-book romance involving the beautiful Princess Katherine to tie it all up with a bow!
With the beautiful ruins of the monastery standing in for bombed out European architecture, the banks of the La Salle River doubling for the endless maze of front line trenches, and the surrounding fields standing in for “no-man’s land”, the Trappist Monastery provides the ideal backdrop for Shakespeare in the Ruin’s signature promenade-style of theatre.
We heartily encourage everyone to come home with us, and experience the magic of Shakespeare in the Ruins, in the ruins:
It’s theatre-that-moves-you…literally.
