WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Following their brash young leader, the invading English army seizes Harfleur and pushes on to Calais. Plagued by illness and battling exhaustion, the troops travel day and night to gain position on the French enemy. Finally crossing the Somme on the eve of St. Crispian's Day, the dawn finds King Henry V and his men on the fields of Agincourt facing a French force that outnumbers them five to one...
Directed by Davis McCallum (The Tempest) and performed by a rousing company of actors, this riveting saga of leadership and loss, politics and war is a story for the ages.

The list of Shakespearean leading men in America -- currently headed by Kevin Kline and Liev Schreiber -- isn't especially long. So when a worthy new candidate appears, a trumpet welcome is in order. Therefore, let clarion tooting begin for Matthew Amendt, who's currently at the New Victory Theater making something memorable of the title role of Henry V in the outstanding Acting Company-Guthrie Theater production, now touring the country.
