Henry V

Henry IV has died. Decades of civil war have left a scarred and divided kingdom. And the inexperienced Prince Hal inherits the throne. When the new King Henry receives a humiliating insult from across the Channel, he launches England into full-scale war with France. Is this a masterstroke of military strategy, or the reckless pride of a petulant child? Vastly outnumbered on the fields of France, one decisive battle will cement the name of Henry V into the history books. But will he be remembered as a national hero or historic disaster? Shakespeare's Henry V comes to life in this classical staging of one of his greatest masterpieces.
