The Hollow Crown

The Hollow Crown is a series of four television films produced by Neal Street Productions in association with NBC Universal as part of the BBC's programme for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

Directed by Olivier award -winners Rupert Goold, Richard Eyre and Thea Sharrock, these stunning adaptations tell the story of three kings, Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V and their battle for survival. Shakespeare’s epic yet intimate plays are filmed in the visually breath-taking landscape and architecture of the period.

The critically acclaimed series earned Ben Whishaw and Simon Russell Beale BAFTAs for Leading Actor and Supporting Actor for their performances as Richard II and Falstaff, and Jeremy Irons was nominated for a SAG Award for Best Actor for his role as Henry IV.
