About the Play
At the battle of Shrewsbury, King Henry IV’s crown is at last secured, only to have his son, Prince Harry of Monmouth, struck down with an arrow to the face. The Prince is given up for dead. As a last resort, surgeon John Bradmore is summoned to examine the young royal. Over the course of several days, the pair develops a unique bond, while examining questions of war, religion, patriotism, and what it means to lead a nation, revealing the true temperament of the future King Henry V.
The King’s Face will be presented in Fort Worth on Monday, March 5 at 7 PM at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for students.
