Olivier Theatre (National Theatre) South Bank, London.

The Royal National Theatre presents Nicholas Hytner version of Shakespeare's Henry V.

Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the King that led them to it. A charismatic leader in the flush of youth commits his troops to war. The risks are huge; the cause debatable; and bloodshed certain.

This is the first production of Henry V at the National.

Adrian Lester plays the title role.
