Interview with David in “Times of Trenton”

Interviews, Theatre, , , ,
As we head into closing weekend for the Shakespeare Theatre of NJ's successful and well-received run of "Henry VIII", starring David in the title role, the Times of Trenton took a moment to interview David and his co-star Jessica Wortham (Queen Katherine) about the experience. David Foubert as Henry gets far more stage time than Wortham, but he quickly points out that the man he plays isn’t the bearded, rotund, bejeweled monarch of the famous Henry VIII portraits. "Henry was a vital, active, straightforward, outgoing young man who enjoyed hunting and jousting with his many friends. He’s smart enough to…

Star-Ledger Review of “Henry VIII”
