Making King Henry V

Ryan Bates, Jordan Blake-Blundell

This film documents the journey of Salt House Theatre Company Artistic Director's attempt to adapt Shakespeare's Henry V into a One Act play with 9 actors and minimal props. The two year journey begins with a pitch to the Sydney College of Divinity to back the production, followed by script assessment and editing with the assistance of well known Australian Shakespearean directors. Then come the cast auditioning 5 months out from the production, and only 2 1/2 weeks of rehearsal. Can the necessary direction take place and cast members bond in such a short period of time. It all comes down to the performance on August 16th, followed by a review from the Sydney College of Divinity. If successful Salt House Theatre Company will have successfully developed a unique form of theatre.
