Time’s Fancy: The War of King Henry V and Joan of Arc
Sixth Planet Productions—Asper Centre (U of W)
What a remarkable powerhouse of a show! This ‘new’ Shakespearean play takes a look at the showdown that would happen had King Henry V met Joan of Arc. The cast as a whole was very talented. A standout for me was Joan of arc. The actress oozes passion and had me completely enthralled. The play had a great flow and seamlessly went from scene to scene. A very minimalist show, the use of their set was highly creative and imaginative. The best part being a large sheet of metal used for some shocking and loud effects. While the play was good, it is recited in traditional Shakespearean language and was thus hard to follow at times. There was also one scene where a cast member seemed to not quite finish dressing and looked very bizarre next to the lavish costumes of the rest of the cast. Nevertheless this fierce cast raised the bar for Shakespeare at the fringe.
