So we've been cast in a post-war English Nationalist Anti-Fascist Kebab Shop reimagining of Henry V set in the future? The death of a national sweetheart. A friendship tested by a bloody act. An infamous production of Shakespeare's Henry V. A tell-all dark comedy that peels back the skin of English cultural identity to reveal the steaming battlefields that lie beneath. Would you die for your country? From rehearsal room microaggressions, to the battlefields of France, into the bureaucracy of applying for citizenship, join Shakespeare's Globe Ensemble veterans Nina Bowers and Philip Arditti in English Kings Killing Foreigners as they explore their histories alongside England's own as unwilling actors in a national story. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of RealFake Theatre and Camden People's Theatre co-production at Camden People's Theatre in April 2024.

First published in 2012. This work of introduction is designed to escort the reader through some six centuries of English literature. It begins in the fourteenth century at the point at which the language written in our country is recognizably our own, and ends in the 1950s. It is a compact survey, summing up the substance and quality of the individual achievements that make up our literature. The aim is to leave the reader informed about each writer’s main output, sensitive to the special character of his gifts, and aware of his place in the story of our literature as a whole.
