WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Rattlestick Productions presents the world premiere of a new comedy, St. Crispin's Day, by Matt Pepper. It's the eve of the battle of Agincourt in October 1415. As the Frenchies lay sleeping, the English have a laugh: stealing the church's gold, seducing hapless prostitutes and bludgeoning each other. The show reveals Shakespeare's Henry V from the soldiers' world, where a knock on the noggin is often the answer to life's quandaries.

Author Matt Pepper has effectively taken many of the Bard's characters and examined them from a new angle -- the viewpoint of a typical, not-so-bright soldier.
On the eve of the Battle of Agincourt in October 1415 (Scene I, Act IV of Shakespeare's Henry V), King Henry disguises himself as one of his soldiers, claiming to be a Mr. Henry Le Roy. In this guise he is able to in[...]
