Henry V - American Shakespeare Center

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our English dead!" The story of England’s hero-king and the greatest upset in European military history is Shakespeare’s finale to his great history plays. More than that, Henry V – at once touching, heroic, savage, and comic – explores the nature of greatness and its connection to theatre; and, perhaps more than any other of Shakespeare's works, it makes the audience part of the story.
