According to the Guardian, Damian Lewis is set to play Henry V at the Old Vic in London in the first production under the theatre’s new artistic director, Rupert Goold. Goold has described the Shakespearean play as a "provocative" version that challenges the concept of leadership and what makes a legend. This marks Lewis's first major theatre role in nearly 10 years. The 2027 season will also feature Milly Alcock in a production of 'Julie' directed by Rebecca Frecknall, and Arinzé Kene in 'Kohlhaas'. Additionally, Goold plans to direct the Stephen Sondheim musical 'Assassins' in the summer. The Old Vic management also announced a new ticketing scheme offering £20 front-row tickets for the first five previews of each main-house show.
