Inhaltsangabe

A group of young villagers, some of them barely out of childhood, enlist in King Henry V's army and set sail from Southampton to fight the French and claim the throne of France for England. Each has a different reason for going and their expectations vary, but none has any experience of fighting in a war. Combining fact and fantasy, the play takes us on a journey from the peace of rural England to the bloody battlefields of Agincourt in France, when the villagers finally come face to face with the mightiest army in Europe, and despite being outnumbered, they battle on to a surprising victory. What happens to the young men will change their lives for ever. About the author
