AN all-female production of Henry VI will be performed on the Wales Millennium Centre’s roof void in February.

Following the success of the 2015 all-female production of Shakespeare’s Richard III, Wales Millennium Centre and Omidaze Productions are again joining forces for Henry VI from February 1-20.

Henry VI will star Cardiff born Casualty star, Suzanne Packer.

The promenade performance, featuring displays of aerial circus skills, explores notions of power, leadership, trust and conflict while challenging preconceived ideas about how and where Shakespeare should be staged.

Performed in the centre’s exciting and unconventional theatre space – the roof void - this all-female production promises to offer a unique audience experience, shedding a new light and perspective on Shakespeare’s work and engaging new audiences.

Challenging conventions by casting women for every role, this Omidaze Productions and Wales Millennium Centre co-production seeks to raise awareness around employment equality for women in an industry where less than 30 per cent of the creative talent is female, even though women make up 68 per cent of theatre audiences.

Pushing boundaries even further, Henry VI is to be played by actor and aerial artist, Hannah O’Leary, adding a new dimension to the role through aerial circus performance - choreographed by Paul Evans (Flying Diplodocus and Crashmat Collective).

Other Welsh performers starring alongside Suzanne Packer include Sioned Jones, Louise Collins, Hannah O'Leary, Alice White, Polly Kilpatrick, Lizzie Winkler and Shala Nyx.

Henry VI forms part of WOW Caerdydd 2016.
