This
weekend marks the opening of our HENRY TRILOGY at the Music Pagoda at
Prospect Park.  With 23 actors, 2 directors, and 3 plays, it is an epic
not to be missed, and we couldn't be more thrilled to invite you to
experience the stories we have been living with all summer long.

As we re-enact the war histories of England this summer, we ask our
audiences to become a part of the dialogue of war: its necessity, its
human impact, its devastation.  But as much as the saga of Henry V is a
story of war, it is also a story of passion: that unnameable quality
that moves the human race to fight and laugh and love. 

We at Rebellious Subjects Theatre believe that this passion you
experience in the play is the same passion that moves 23 classically
trained, professional actors to spend their summer working in a pagoda
in a park.  It is the same passion that moves 2 professional directors
who have worked with Tony and Drama Desk award winners to leave the
typical 3-week rehearsal process to spend their whole summer cutting,
rehearsing, discussing, and creating the vision of this trilogy.

As artists, we believe that this passion is what touches, changes
and moves audiences.  We started this company because it brings
children to their first classical plays; it halts bikers, joggers, and
dog-walkers in their tracks; it induces people to recite whole passages
from plays to us.    This is the battle for our company as
theatremakers; this is where our passion lies.

The 50-plus collaborators that have helped make this show happen,
from building thrones to shaping costumes to opening up off-Broadway
theatres for rehearsals to creating the many roles of these shows have
joined us in the good fight.

We hope you will join us too.
