196. The Cup | Henry V (National Theatre Live)

Welcome back to the 196th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 196th episode we have a new proshot review of the Donmar Warehouse’s 2022 production of Shakespeare’s Henry V (as preserved by National Theatre Live), directed by Max Webster, and starring Kit Harrington in the title role. This particular conversation was hosted by Co-Artistic Producer Mackenzie and he was joined by fellow Co-Artistic Producer Ryan Borochovitz, Associate Producer Jillian Robinson, and special guest panelists Dewey Stewart. They discuss and examine the Game of Thrones connections this piece has, why this particular history play is so popular and the role and function of The Chorus in this play and much more!
