Tomorrow (Monday, March 23) is Talk Like William Shakespeare Day! The Bard was very influenced by the Italian commedia dell'arte of the 16th Century but here is our Dalek Skarino delivering the St. Crispin's Day Speech from "Henry V" Act IV Scene 3!

Henry V changes with every era. Michael Billington argues Shakespeare’s war play reveals more about our fractured present than ever—from Olivier’s patriotism to Hytner’s Iraq critique to Tamara Harvey’s new take in a world on edge.

The battle inspired William Shakespeare’s play Henry V, written in 1599. The battle forms a significant part of the action and the play includes a famous speech, with the quote “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”
