"Full of invention, wit and humour"

GScene says Henry V "easily rates among the best Shakespeare [the reviewer] has seen." The review concentrates on the plot of the play and the themes of war, but John Dougall, Gunnar Cauthery and Karl Davies are all lauded for their performances.

The Argus identifies the production as firmly drawing on Propeller's established style and says :
This is Shakespeare at its most accessible, full of invention, wit and humour. What sets Propeller apart from other radical re-interpretations of Shakespeare is that the actors speak with clarity and the verse is treated with respect. 
It’s not classic Shakespeare but it’s a thoroughly entertaining take on the play and well worth catching before the run finishes.
