Infos

Henry V tells the story of Henry of Monmouth, now King Henry V. This play stands as the final part of Henriad tetralogy and presents the transformation of the main character from a wild, undisciplined young man to the young prince who has matured. The story focuses on an expedition to France led by Henry V in which his army although widely outnumbered defeats the French at Agincourt.

Autor

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
