St Crispin’s Day
Performed by Eliza Butterworth
“What has always struck me about Henry V is that it only talks about the soldiers. What we don’t get to see are the people left at home. And they are, lest we forget, fighting a war of their own. I wanted to show those people on their own battleground. The resilience of the Ukrainian people has astonished me. Ultimately, the St Crispin’s Day speech is a battle cry, yes. But there is more than one way of fighting a battle.”
