We are delighted that The Space, the digital arts service from Arts Council England, in partnership with the BBC will be filming and live streaming our final battlefield performance of Henry VI at Monken Hadley Common, Barnet on Saturday 24 August. The event will be captured from multiple viewpoints, with aerial cameras taking in the stage, audience and landscape from above, and will be presented by the lovely Jamie Parker (Henry V, Henry IV Parts 1 & 2) . 

After the live broadcast, edited films of the three plays will become available on demand on The Space’s website. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to watch these performances on the battlefield and become a part of Globe history. So pack up your picnic and book your tickets here - limited availability.

Follow @The_Globe and @thespacearts on Twitter on the day for additional live updates.
