Cornered by an enormous French army at Agincourt in 1415, Shakespeare's Henry V delivers a stunning exhortation to his 'band of brothers' ; an enduring, inspiring address that is magnificently delivered by Jamie Parker in this stellar performance at the faithful reconstruction on the banks of the Thames of the theatre built in 1599. Parker ''casts such a rapt spell that you feel the entire audience would rise up to march behind him'' (The Independent) in his dual role as a warrior and a leader with a conscience. Director Dominic Dromgoole puts a poignant focus on the human impact of conflict in this most popular of Shakespeare's plays. Filmed in High Definition and true surround sound.
