An eight-part series 5: First Night
This week the doors of the Royal Shakespeare
Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon opened on a completely new production of Henry V. It's the beginning of the new season of the Royal
Shakespeare Company, one of the most important nights of the theatrical calendar and one of the British arts' biggest tourist attractions. During the past month John Parry , the BBC Arts
Correspondent, has been backstage, watching and capturing the excitement, tension and sweat of preparing for opening night.
