Shakespeare’s most famous war play is set in England’s royal courts and on the battlefield with France. A young King Henry must assume responsibility and lead his men, outnumbered 5-to-1, into battle with the French. The play contains the famous, St. Crispin’s Day speech, where Henry proclaims every soldier noble and common alike, “a brother, to be remembered until the end of time” — resulting in an astounding victory.
