This spring, The Public Theater's Mobile Unit is bringing Henry V to every borough of New York City for free. Shakespeare's classic tells the story of Britain's King Henry V, who is insulted by the regent of France and decides to wage war against him. Obie Award-winning director Robert O'Hara and Zenzi Williams, who plays the role of Henry V, discuss their production, along with Stephanie Ybarra, Director of Special Artistic Projects at The Public Theater. Ybarra leads the Mobile Unit, which travels to audiences in prisons and homeless shelters, guided by the principle that art belongs to everyone. Henry V is playing through May 13 at the Shiva Theater and with the Mobile Unit. This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
