After the turmoil and uncertainty of Henry IV a new era appears to dawn for England with the accession of the eponymous Henry V. In this sunny pageant Chorus guides us along Henry's glittering carpet ride of success as the new king completes his transformation from rebellious wastrel to a truly regal potentate. Of course, there is an underlying feeling that the good times won't last, and this is all the more reason to enjoy the Indian summer before the protracted and bitter fall of the house of Lancaster.

good except the boy

I had no major issues except for the voice of the Boy. He was hard to understand and I didn't understand why the speaker just to give him a speech impediment. I would suggest speaking in a higher voice or using a woman if you want to emphasize his age.

Certainly read along with this one - it is sometimes hard to understand, and, as I was reading along, I noticed several errors, or, if not, at least discrepancies between my text and whatever one they were reading. For volunteer work, however, I say it's quite acceptable, it being available without charge.

Yikes! St Crispin’s Day speech one of the most Manly speeches of all time delivered by a girl just proves that girls can’t do anything boys can do only better. Uninspiring and weak. If you’re going to do the thing so poorly why did you bother to do it at all?

Terrible, because king Henry is played by a girl and the boy’s voice is garbage. They didn’t need to add sound effects to a guy eating a leek. It’s terrible don’t use it just go spend a bit of money to get a quality audiobook it will be better. Trust me.
well done

audio quality better, with closer consistency than sadly some other plays on librivox have which unfortunately can make listening to them too difficult. thanks to the volunteers and editors
