The Hollow CrownThe Hollow Crown brings together four filmed adaptations of
Shakespeare's History Plays - Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 and 2, and
Henry V. Starting in the year 1399, this continuous story of monarchy
follows events during sixteen years of dynastic and political power
play. Kings, with their families and followers, are threatened by
rebellion and conflict. The story takes us from the Royal Court at
Westminster to battlefields in England and France. These rich films are
woven with the finest of Shakespeare's poetry and are filmed in the
architecture and landscape of the period.
