2015 is the SIX HUNDRETH ANNIVERSARY of the BATTLE OF AGINCOURT…

…and we know that King Henry V….

….stayed at Titchfield Abbey before embarking for France….

…and held a Privy Council Meeting there….

Titchfield Abbey was converted into Place House for Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton….

..and is where William Shakespeare worked as a ‘fac totum’….

….and fell in love with the teenage Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton….

See: Just How Gay was the Third Earl of Southampton.

To play the great rôle of Prince Hal who becomes Henry V….

…..the Titchfield Festival Theatre is proud to announce that they have secured the services of….

…rising young star…

….CHRIS MILLS….

…..who hales from Warsash…..

…and has only been acting seriously for three years!!!

Chris gave a STUPENDOUS reading of the part….

..and goes on after the Titchfield Shakespeare Festival to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe in….

…Tennessee Williams Confessional

To read the CONCEPT of the play, click: HERE.

…and to read the script itself, click: HERE

Tonight we play The Making of a King

And tell the tale of dissolute Prince Harry

Who, more in love with taverns than with courts

And constant comrade of a gross fat knight

Transformed, upon his father Henry’s death,

Into the star of England…..

Also the week beginning 2oth April saw….
