Although I prefer Shakespeare's comedies the history play, Henry V, has some very good scenes with excellent speeches (mostly those of Henry).
It follows fairy closely the history as known to Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Part of the supplementary material features excerpts from Holinshed's Chronicles. I think I would like to see a performance of Henry V for the scenes with Henry although the "comic" scenes didn't work very well for me when reading them. Perhaps a well-done performance would make them more likable.
