Synopsis
"Henry V, written arguably around 1599, is the final play in
Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of history plays. It focuses directly
on the events immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt
and captures the transition of King Henry V from a carefree lad to
a national leader. The play has been adapted extensively for film and
inspired several musical works."
