SUMMARY:Henry V presented by the Changeling Theatre
DESCRIPTION:We few\, we happy few\, we band of brothers \nThe Changeling Theatre Summer Tour 2024 present William Shakespeare’s Henry V at Hatfield Park\, 14th August. \nA young superstar King has ascended the English throne. When his advisors tell him the French throne is rightfully his too\, Henry falls for their persuasion. An insult from the Dauphin – heir to the French throne – is enough to trigger Henry\, who gathers a mighty fleet and invades France. \nAfter defeating the French at Harfleur and Agincourt\, the young King makes the old King of France swear to hand the throne to him on his death\, making him King of both countries. To seal the deal he marries the old King’s daughter\, Princess Katherine. \nBased on the events of the Hundred Years’ War\, Henry V is much more than a historical documentary. It is a play about the merits of war\, set against the moral and personal cost of conflict. \nOnce more unto the breach dear friends… \nThe Changeling Theatre produces high quality\, entertaining theatre in non-traditional locations for community audiences across South East England. Productions range from re-interpretations of Shakespeare and modern classics to working with new writers and composers to create innovative new theatre. \nCompany \nDirector\nRobert Forknall \nGeneral Manager\nDawn Archer \nDesign\nAlice McNicholas \nGraphic Design\nDan Bull \nBrand and content\nJill Hogan \n  \nAll seating is unreserved. \nPlease bring your own blankets/ chairs – seating is not provided. \nThe Coach House Kitchen will be open until the beginning of the performance. Picnics welcome. \nTickets: \nAdults: £25.00\, Ages 10-18: £15.00 \nChildren aged under ten go free to all performances but will require a ticket. ‘Free’ tickets are not available for purchase on-line. Please contact the Box Office on 01634 338338 to purchase your tickets if you have children aged under 10 in your party.

SUMMARY:Hatfield House Music Festival: Musical Time Travel
DESCRIPTION:Whenever we listen to music we are time travelling\, whether we realise it or not. Everything we hear belongs to a particular moment and place – and the music takes us there. Meanwhile\, the greatest music also manages to be timeless and to belong everywhere. \nThoughts like these were much in the thoughts of the Hatfield House Music Festival creative team as they worked on the theme for 2024\, Musical Time Travel. \nThe creative team also wanted to celebrate some significant anniversaries such as Fauré\, Schoenberg\, the BBC New Generation Artists. Another highlight of the Festival is featuring eminent composers from much earlier times who had particular associations with the Salisbury family with namely Dowland and Handel. The Festival also looks to the future and welcomes Guy Johnston’s newly formed Bechstein Piano Trio. \nAnd there’s much more… \nHatfield House\, its Park and surroundings resonate with history. Where better to let our imaginations transport us through the ages with Songs Through Time and with chamber music masterworks by Mozart\, Beethoven\, Schubert\, Brahms and Dvořák? \nHere’s what the critics said about our 2023 Festival: \nReview of the Horn Recital \n‘There are so many impressive moments: perhaps a word for Tom Poster’s playing\, not only throughout but particularly the way he set up the absolutely shimmering atmosphere in the third movement.’ \nReview of Voices and Viols \n‘The result was a refreshing spirit of conviviality and collaboration\, the informality of which in no way lessened the ‘seriousness’ of the musicians’ intent or communication.’ \nReview of Friday’s Festival Family \n‘The first movement was tuneful\, perky and neo-classical\, with the wind instruments to the fore and the piano deftly supporting. This continued in the slow movement\, with the three wind lines intertwining over the piano\, creating some lovely harmonic textures\, whilst the final movement was a perky moto perpetuo with a fabulous climax.’ \nFor the full 2024 Festival programme and to book tickets please see here: programme page.
