NT Live: Henry V

Kit Harington takes the title role in director Max Webster's modern retelling of Shakespeare's history play, which was recorded live on the stage of the Donmar Warehouse in London. Before Henry IV died, he advised his son to increase his popularity amongst the people by waging foreign wars. Taking his father's words to heart, Henry V declares war on France to secure his standing and banish any ties with Falstaff and the criminal fraternity.
