HENRY V REVIEWS

“Bain’s Henry has the rallying demeanour, the sense of authority … Serious, decisive, but always listening to the winds of change, and at the finale, silver-tongued in wooing a French bride: Fairlie and squarely, the winner at the end”

Charles Hutchinson, York Press

HENRY V REVIEWS

“Above all, though, most things that are good come from Maggie Bain – and she is very good. Assured from the outset as the King, she paces her performance perfectly … Authoritative and human, she gradually accumulates the troubles of the nation, but, as her brow furrows, she projects honesty and retains control until the slaughter of the boys at Agincourt: “I was not angry until this instant”, certainly!”

Ron Simpson, The Reviews Hub

HENRY V REVIEWS

“Bain plays the caddish young orator king with a committed front of terrier-like swagger and rich-brat bravado, later complicating the popular Hal with swift strategical turns and dredging him through a crisis of responsibility, but ultimately maintaining his belief in the righteousness of his cause. He is a rousing speaker fit to set you questioning those you trust to speak on your behalf
