Synopsis
The Road to Glory
Published by Aurora Metro
Large Mixed Cast
A group of young villagers - some of them barely out of childhood - enlist in King Henry's army and set sail from Southampton to claim the throne of France for England
Each has a different reason for going and their expectations vary, but none has any experience of fighting in a war
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 villagers finally come face to face with the mightiest army in Europe
Ideal for schools, colleges and youth theatres to perform
