Photo Flash: First Look at Antic Disposition's HENRY V

Recent RADA graduate Freddie Stewart has been cast in the title role in Shakespeare's HENRY V, in a site-specific production that marks award-winning Antic Disposition's 10th anniversary. Antic Disposition has won critical acclaim for staging visually striking productions in spectacular historic buildings, including Middle Temple Hall. HENRY V, boasting a joint British and French cast, will be staged in London's ancient Temple Church from tonight 24 August - Saturday 5 September 2015. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

The rest of the joint British/French cast are: Floriane Andersen, Maurice Byrne, Marius Hesper, Andrew Hodges, Alex Hooper, Victor Klein, Mark Middleton, James Murfitt, Dean Riley, Louise Templeton, Geoffrey Towers.

Set in a French military hospital in 1915, HENRY V marks both the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt and the ongoing centenary of the First World War.
