Summary:
"Capped by one of the most famous speeches ever written, Shakespeare's Henry V recalls a truly great English victory. With comic sub-plots to be found among Henry's soldiers, the production boasts some terrific performances - including Sam Cox as the 'splendidly unhinged' Pistol (The Daily Telegraph). In the title role is Jamie Parker, who 'casts such a rapt spell that you feel the entire audience would rise up to march behind him' (The Independent). Filmed in high definition and true surround sound"--Case.
