Henry V, one of Shakespeare's greatest historical plays on British monarchs centres on a new young king facing a country on the brink of war with France. He must build his army, prove to himself and his countrymen that he has the courage and fortitude to defy an arrogant and powerful French army. Amidst plots of assassination he must lead his country to military conquest in medieval western Europe, building to the legendary British victory in 1514 over the French at Agincourt.
