CHARGE! Agincourt By Back to Back Theatre
An ACMI Touring Exhibition
A bold and innovative cinematic interpretation to Shakespeareβs classic play Henry V in a new screen commission.
Englandβs Henry V arrives at a factory: he sees thousands of French warriors ready to take up arms against his depleted and tired troops. With not much more than stirring words, he leads his people through a battle that represents the tragedy and extremities of war. But beyond the cardboard armour and din of battle β who are these soldiers? If we see them as individuals, what more can we understand about them?
