Jeremy Irons takes us through the lives of these kings and their plays simultaneously, beginning on the Thames - rowing us across to the Globe on the South Bank, where audiences saw early productions - to the battlefield at Agincourt, site of Henry V's greatest victory, and finally to the cemetery at Normandy. Along the way, he asks compelling questions about leadership, kingship, war, and consequences, looking for answers in scenes from a range of stage and film productions, in discussions with literary scholars, historians, actors, and directors, and even in a copy of Holinshed's Chronicle? (1587), Shakespeare's chief source for these plays.
