Globe For All Is Back with "Henry V"

The popular, free series by Globe For All, touring arm of The Old Globe Theatre, returns to Lemon Grove with a great show.

Shakespeare's "Henry V" is one of his most beloved plays depicting a rousing victory for Henry's small, underfed, diseased army of longbow experts, who won the Battle of Agincourt on Oct. 25, 1415 after hand-to-hand combat in the mud.

Henry V is action-packed and full of amusing characters representing all the nations of the British Isles. But it is the stalwart Henry, who carries the day with his rousing call to arms to his small, underpaid, underfed, diseased army of longbow experts, with pointed sticks driven into the ground at an angle, and no horse cavalry. A week of rain left the battlefield a sea of mud. Forsaking their bows and arrows, the peasant army won the Battle of Agincourt with brutal hand-to-hand combat. "Their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" depended on it. That was Oct. 25, 1415.
