The King's Face is loosely based on a true story. At the battle of Shrewsbury, King Henry IV's crown is at last shorn up, only to have his son, Prince Harry of Monmouth, struck down with an arrow to the face. The Prince is given up for dead when John Bradmore, a London surgeon, is sent to examine the young royal as a last resort. Over the course of several days, the pair develops a father and son relationship, while examining questions of terrorism, war, religion, patriotism and what it means to lead a nation. This is not Shakespeare's Henry V. This is the story of the making of a king, one of the most warrior like of English kings. But to become Henry V, Prince Harry must first face his demons.| 31 May 11 to 3 Jul 11 | The Lion and Unicorn Theatre Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
