Learning on ScreenHenry V
- Synopsis
- First in a radio drama series in which eight plays from different playwrights have been selected for their portrayal of the impact of warfare. Shakespeare’s Henry V was chosen since the play, "with all its oratorical magnificence, recognises the wastefulness of the campaign" (London Calling, December 1963, p. 12).
