Propeller tells the tale of the greatest British warrior in English folklore – Henry V. At a time when nationalism is at its most dangerous and exciting and increasing numbers of British servicemen and women are seeing active service, Henry V marks the thrilling and deeply moving beginning of a journey that takes us from the corridors of Westminster to the fields of France in an evening of unforgettable power.

A tragic fairytale, The Winter’s Tale tells the mysterious and extraordinary story of a man consumed by an inexplicable jealousy that destroys his family, his kingdom and himself.

Wracked with guilt, Leontes sets off a chain reaction of events that leads to a miraculous climax and the chance of redemption. The greatest playwright writing at the height of his powers, this is poetry in motion. Led by Director Edward Hall, internationally acclaimed all-male company Propeller return to Newcastle following their highly praised productions of Richard III and The Comedy Of Errors.
