William Shakespeare’s epic story of England’s warrior-king comes to life in this clear, modern version. From his victories at home over treason and treachery, to his battles in France and his romance with Katherine, the daughter of the defeated French King, Henry V is a compelling character. The play is a glorious pageant of patriotism and valour, interwoven with comic scenes peopled by some of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters.
