Henry V

By William Shakespeare

Guildford Castle

June 2014

Young and brash King Henry V of England sets out to repair his broken nation after a bloody civil war, and discovers the challenges of leadership are greater than he ever imagined. From Henry's rousing battle speeches to courting the Princess of France, Shakespeare explores what makes a man a king... and a king a man!

CRY GOD FOR HARRY, ENGLAND AND ST GEORGE!

The year is 1415. King Henry is about to take the biggest gamble of his reign and claim the crown of France. Travel with him and his soldiers from the shores of England to the muddy fields of France and his great victory at Agincourt.
