The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Free Shakespeare in the Park with a production of 'Henry V,' the exciting tale about the rise of a young king and the glories and costs of war.

Performances take place on the beautiful Main Post Parade Ground Lawn in the Presidio, near Graham St and Moraga Ave.

The show plays September 1-23 on Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day Monday at 2:00 pm. No tickets or reservations are needed. Bring your family, friends, a blanket and a picnic to enjoy FREE professional theater in a beautiful park setting.

Young slacker Prince Hal has become King Henry V and must prove he is ready to rule. With the invasion of France the young king struggles with self-doubt, sagging morale, cruel treachery, and the crazy antics of his old friends Nym and Pistol! Ultimately, all meet at the famous Battle of Agincourt and the English, though greatly outnumbered, win back their land thanks to Henry's stirring leadership. Victorious in war, Henry now desires the heart of French Princess Katherine. Confident in charm - if not the French language - Henry ultimately triumphs in uniting the Kingdoms in marriage and returns home a true King.
