A few days ago we went to see an outside performance of Henry V at Hutton-in-the-Forest.

Henry V

We went to watch a play about Henry V. We sat on the coach for 1hour.  But before we went to watch the play we sat on a field which had lots of lovely flowers and grass then we sat down and ate our lovely dinner. (Packed lunch.)

Before the play started we walked to the toilets. Then we walked down to sit on a bank and at the bottom of the bank there was a stage. Behind the stage was a little waterfall.

There were only 5 people doing the play but it was better than the film. One of the 5 people was Henry V and he was the one shouting all the way through the play. (I did not like him because he gives you a headache!!!)

The war bit was a little bit rubbish because it did not look real. But the rest of it was cool. The bad bit was when it started to rain because we all got drenched.

Our Shakespeare's Henry V, St Crispin's Day Speech

Men!  You brave men we will enter battle not just for us, but for England. Even though we are outnumbered we will still win, all of our hearts are bigger than ten of theirs. Remember lads the bigger they are the harder they fall. We will conquer France like we conquered all the other countries. Whoever die’s today will have died with pride. In years to come you men will show your scars and say I was there on St. Crispin’s day. Forward we shall go battling through the French troops. We shall win or we shall lose, but those who survive this almighty battle shall live on with pride and can say they were there on St. Crispin’s Day!

Our Shakespeare's Henry V, St Crispin's Day Speech

Troops! We can do this, no one will forget this day, St Crispin’s day! You will be remembered. No one remembers second best. We will win the fight. We will put the French to shame. The battle field will be on your memory forever. If we die at least we will die together and with dignity in our souls. We will win this battle and beat the French. Just because we’re a few men down doesn’t mean we’re not the better side! Fight. Fight like you’ve never fought before. Tales and stories will be told about you all they will say he was in the war and he was on the side that won! Never forget that we are English men, we will win, and we’ll never surrender against the French. Don’t give up, and you will not close that curtain because if you close that curtain we will lose. We are going to win. I believe in you all from the youngest man here to the oldest here. Don’t let the English down! We are a team, we are brothers, and if you battle with me I will help you to battle the French. Just remember that I have faith in you so let’s go and beat the French and show them what we are made of!

Our Shakespeare's Henry V, St Crispin's Day Speech

Listen, you heroic English troops!

We will do battle, we will make history.

Men and women will awake in their English beds and think themselves accursed,

They will wish themselves here, on this memorable day, when we will fight the cursed foe.

Just because we are outnumbered doesn’t mean we can surrender cowardly.

He that lives this historical day and returns safely home will up stand at the name of Crispin.

We will go out there and fight like it’s our last day, for some it will be.

But for he who shares his scars and wounds with me will be remembered until the end of England’s time.

And for them who spill their blood today will be remembered as my family, my brother!

God be with you as you cry for the victory of sweet England.

Forward my brave English friends, as we will battle as one and will succeed.

For this the battle of Agincourt, Saint Crispin’s Day… Our day!

Let God be with you all!
