Henry V is by William Shakespeare. The final installment in the Henriad, Shakespeare's second historical fiction tetralogy. Hal is now Henry V and is headed to France to battle the French king for his throne as well. This play has several magnificent monologues, including the famous "Band of Brothers" speech. A must read classic for all lovers of the Bard. The Hollow Crown series is an excellent video representation of the tetralogy and Kenneth Branagh's version is also not to be missed.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10.
