Actor Sandy McCallum follows up his folksy rendition of King Lear by tackling the epic sweep of the 1415 war against the French led by the newly reformed King Henry V. Sounding like a battle-tired veteran relating an old war story around a campfire, he takes the listener handily form the English court and the Boar's Head Tavern to Agincourt, Harfleur, and the vasty fields of France. With the ease of an experienced, but artless raconteur he unravels his yarn with a disarming charm and down home clarity which is bound to fascinate and amuse the play's tried and true fans and to engross and stimulate the greenhorn approaching the play for the first time.
In a style all his own he takes us on the fateful journey of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ... His approach is irreverent, witty, scholarly and just plain filled with down-home humor that is sure to make any listener smile and keep them wanting more.
An actor, director and writer, Sandy McCallum has spent a lifetime in the theatre with such companies as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Alliance Theatre, Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Tyrone Guthrie Theater, and the Old Globe.
