Shakespeare’s masterpiece about the turbulence of life and war in the 15th century. Filmed on the stage of one of London’s most famous landmarks, it tells the violent, patriotic yet romantic story of Henry’s campaign to recapture the French throne as he leads his outnumbered troops to victory at the Battle of Agincourt.

Henry V, with its famous ‘O for a muse of fire’ opening, celebrates the power of language to summon into life vivid characters caught up in the horrors of war, motivated by an ambitious and charismatic king.
Much loved for his performance as Prince Hal in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, Jamie Parker returns to Hal’s journey as Henry V. Directed in 2012 by Shakespeare’s Globe’s former artistic director Dominic Dromgoole.
