520 $aThis study examines the profound changes that twentieth-century performance has wrought on Shakespeare's complex drama of war and politics. What was accepted at the turn of the century as a patriotic celebration of a national hero has emerged in the modern theatre as a dark and troubling analysis of the causes and costs of war. The book details the theatrical innovations and political insights that have turned one of Shakespeare's most tradition-bound plays into one of his most popular and provocative.
520 8 $aLike the other volumes in the Shakespeare in Performance series, Henry V gives detailed analyses of several important modern productions. Beginning with a consideration of the play's political significance in Elizabethan London, the book goes on to reveal its subsequent reinvention, both as patriotic pageant and anti-war manifesto.
520 8 $aIndividual chapters consider important productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and other British and North American companies, as well as the landmark film versions of Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh. A compelling account of the theatrical revolution that has transformed one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays.
