About
"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”. A wild young man one day, King of England the next. Almost as soon as he is crowned and seated on the throne Henry V sets his sights on uniting a fractured kingdom. The most effective way to do this? Identify a common enemy, The French. Will this headstrong leader rouse his army, conquer the French and re-brand his legitimacy? Shakespeare’s history play remains as relevant today as when it was written more than four hundred years ago.
