Propeller is an all-male Shakespeare company which seeks to find a more engaging way of expressing Shakespeare and to more completely explore the relationship between text and performance. Mixing a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic, they have been influenced by mask work, animation and classic and modern film and music from all ages. Henry V and The Winter’s Tale brought by Propeller are two works of genius.

HENRY V

Nationalism at its most dangerous and exciting, ‘Henry V’ tells the tale of the greatest British warrior in English folklore. Propeller brings its own unique take on one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays. Dangerous, thrilling and deeply moving, ‘Henry V’ marks the beginning of a journey that takes audience from the corridors of Westminster to the fields of France in an evening of unforgettable power.

Propeller continues their exploration of Shakespeare’s cycle of the History plays following their acclaimed productions of RICHARD III and ROSE RAGE.

THE WINTER’S TALE

A tragic fairy story, mysterious and extraordinary. Propeller returns to the story of a man consumed by an inexplicable jealousy that destroys his family, his kingdom and himself. Wracked by guilt, Leontes sets off a chain reaction of events leading to a miraculous ending and the chance for redemption. The greatest playwright writing at the height of his powers. True poetry in motion.
