Library to present ‘Henry V’ The Mahwah Public Library will present an abridged version of William Shakespeare’s “Henry V” on July 30 at 7 p.m. This live performance by the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s Next Stage eNSemble concerns the coming of age story of a new king and his nation. The young and inexperienced Henry of England, threatened by rebellious nobles and the military might of France, leads a ragtag band of soldiers in a desperate attempt to save his throne and consolidate his power. Shakespeare’s play is a stirring commentary on patriotism, courage, and the qualities that make a great leader and nation. No tickets are necessary. Seats will be available on a “first come” basis. Latecomers will be seated during appro- priate breaks. The library is located at 100 Ridge Road. For more information, call (201) 529-READ.
