About this listen

The all-conquering King Henry V is dead, and the throne is occupied by his infant son, Henry VI. The good Duke Humphrey of Gloucester has been appointed protector, but a struggle for power soon develops between the young king's Lancastrian relatives and the powerful house of York under Richard Plantagenet. Meanwhile the French, led by Joan of Arc, the maid of Orleans, threaten to win back the territories lost to Henry V.

Words words words verses trumpets bulges horns

A fine cast and well narrated by all. But I must admit that the brass playing before every Lord, Earl, Duke and Monarch has been a little tiresome. And being that this play has about fifty titles each English and French, then it's a lot of bugle, trumpet or horn. It is in fact too much brass. Yet the play was good.

Great if you're familiar with the context.

I enjoyed filling in the story. Great voice acting. As dramatised history, not Shakespeare's best.
