“O for a muse of fire”

The most famous battle play in history comes to Network this summer.

Amidst the crash of cannons and the clash of bayonets, young King Hal and his red-coated band of brothers will hazard all to win a Kingdom and the love of a beautiful Princess. Containing some of the best known speeches and most colourful characters Henry V is a soldier’s tale, moving from courts to pubs to the muddy battlefields of France.

Over the years Henry V has been associated with many historical conflicts. This production sets the action between England and France at the time of their most titanic struggle – the era of the Napoleonic Wars.
