Shakespeare’s history play Henry V gets a little bit of creative revisionism in Matt Pepper’s black comedy St. Crispin’s Day, now in its Chicago premiere at Strawdog Theatre. As the English forces are about to take on the French at the Battle of Agincourt, a provocateur among the troops tries to get the recruits to overthrow the monarch. It all fits in with Strawdog’s season exploring “Why We Fight.” St. Crispin’s Day plays 8 p.m. Fridays; 4 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; and 7 p.m. Sundays through Saturday, Oct. 31, at Strawdog Theatre, 3829 N. Broadway. Tickets are $20 and $30 on closing night. Student and senior tickets are $15; call 773-528-9696 or visit www.strawdog.org. Photo by Chris Ocken
