Another directorial debut, this time from National Treasure and classically trained luvvy Kenneth Branagh. Shakespeare has never really been my thing, so I’m fairly sure the battle scenes carried me through this one.

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.

A new Henry V is a barometer of our times – what can Shakespeare’s war play tell us amid global chaos?

Revivals of this history play usually reflect the politics of the moment. Now a fresh RSC retelling arrives in a world of instability and fractured alliances
