Mineral County Performing Arts Council (MCPAC) is a proud sponsor of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks. The performance of Henry V on took place yesterday at the Mineral County Fairgrounds in Superior.

This play deals with themes of loyalty, patriotism, and leadership centered around the battle of Agincourt in 1415 against France.

As one of Shakespeare’s history plays, Henry V is preceded by 2 plays featuring the future king in his wanton youth, Henry IV parts one and two. As king, Henry grows into a ruler who is respected and revered as he leads a nation destined for great things.

Although there were plenty of fight scenes, this picture depicts a stylized version of the 1415 Battle of Agincourt where the English pin down the French troops (onstage) by firing arrows from their longbows. In the actual battle, the French were on horseback mired in mud so the English won with minimal casualties to themselves.
King Henry V comes into the audience to give his famous “Band of Brothers” speech as he urges his troops on in battle.
