No idea.
All I know about Henry V I learned from either Buffy or the movie Renaissance Man.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." The St. Crispin's day speech.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Very Long Wait on my Netflix queue so maybe it's not too late for me to stop by the library.

Oh, and Branagh's Henry V is a rare chance to see Robert Stephens on screen--while being married to Maggie Smith and producing Toby Stephens as their child, he spent most of the '60s and '70s with a bottle. He emerged to be (a fairly decent) Aragorn in the BBC radio play of LotR, and then Branagh cast him as Pistol in Henry V, who he portrayed excellently, I thought. He died not too many years later.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh, I once heard a story about an actor who was going to play Lear for the first time. Understandably nervous, he consulted an older actor, one who had played Lear a number of times and was well received. He posed the question and the older man thought long and deep. After some time he said, "get a small Cordelia."

Older actor = Gielgud. Wish I could have seen him perform.

The first live Shakespeare I ever saw was the one I was in, Romeo and Juliet in junior year of high school (I was the Apothecary). The only other time I've seen a complete play done live was Macbeth at Barat College in Lake Forest (now closed, unfortunately), which always had live Shakespeare outdoors during the summer.
I really should head over to Navy Pier and see the Shakespeare Rep sometime.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Y'all are giving me chills, quoting Henry V.
Will kinda does that from time to time.
