A group of young villagers, some of them teenagers are persuaded to enlist in King Henry's army. They set sail from Southampton to claim the throne of France for England. Each has a different reason for going to war and their expectations vary, but none has any experience of fighting in a real battle.
Combining fact and fantasy, the play takes us on a journey from the peace of rural England to the bloody battlefields of Agincourt in France, where the young villagers finally come face to face with the mightiest army in Europe. The reality is both shocking and brutal.
What happens changes their lives forever.
Ideal play for schools, colleges and youth theatres which questions the need for war and its consequences.
