A NEW touring theatre group will be bringing its launch production to Stratford this spring, when it performs The Battle of Agincourt- Henry V at King Edward VI School.

Generator, a touring company based at The Dream Factory in Warwick, is embarking on an ambitious five-year programme to present work in what it describes as "formal and non-formal performance spaces".

The opening production is RSC honorary director John Barton's adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V, which features veteran actor Jeffrey Dench, who appeared in the original 1969 RSC Theatregoround production.

The company will be at KES as part of the Shakespeare Birthday celebrations on April 23.
