“rousing all-female cast…seriously entertaining…Ms. [Harriet] Walter was born to play Henry IV…Jade Anouka’s [Hotspur] sheer kinetic youthfulness is irresistible…”-THE NEW YORK TIMES

On the heels of the Donmar’s revelatory production of JULIUS CAESAR, which empowered women to play Shakespearean roles normally reserved for men, director Phyllida Lloyd has set a second play, Henry IV, against the backdrop of women in prison. Harriet Walter, “one of the best Shakespeareans alive” (The Guardian), will once again lead a diverse and exciting all-female cast in Shakespeare’s monumental history play which travels to the heart of family, duty and country.

St. Ann’s Warehouse is proud to open the Inaugural Season in our new home with this major event, which, with its in-depth outreach and engagement programs, has ignited a cultural and social conversation about gender, equality and aspiration on both sides of the Atlantic.
