Henry V, which dates from 1599, is the last in Shakespeare's series of plays based on English history. It is also, of course, among the Bard's best-known and most-performed works. It's given rich new life here by a full-cast presentation that combines classic literature with classical music.

― William Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3
It is hard to find fault with Henry V. It isn't Shakespeare's BEST, but his best are almost mythicly high and unassailable. But Henry V is pretty d*mn good and it owns one of the greatsest and most memorable monologues ever (Hal's St. Crispin's Day speech). It also has more French imbeded into it than any other Shakespeare play than I can think of. So, while I applaud the Tennis diplomacy scene, I'm not a huge fan of the Katherine learning English from Alice. Meh. Not every serve goes over the net Will. But still, taken as a whole it is a great play. The Battle of Agincourt is high drama and seems to match the drum of the audiences' heart with the drum beat of war. Everytime I read Act 4 I feel moved, inspired, transfixed. Shakespeare might not have caught Livy as the world's greatest composer of fictionalized historical speeches, but he was definitely a gifted second to Livy.
Some of my favorite lines:
“...for coward dogs
Most spend their mouths when what they seem to threaten
runs far before them.” (Act 2, Scene 3)
“In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;” (Act 3, Scene 1)
“I am afeard there are few die
well that die in battle; for how can they
charitably dispose of anything when blood is their
argument?” (Act 4, Scene 1)
“There is some soul of goodness in things evil,
Would men observingly distill it out.” (Act 4, Scene 1)
“Let life be short, else shame will be too long.” (Act 4, Scene 5)
Nice customs curtsy to great kings.
