Henry V

[samvara]

Is a lot funnier than I realised and also 'Harry' is a right bastard. Young Henry gets sent off to war on the French by the Bishop to distract him from taxing the church. He conquers by 'divine right' and takes princess Catherine as his prize - pitched as a love match for what I hope are reasons of irony.

The New Fortune Theatre was a new experience - the UWA peacocks have claimed it as their sleeping niche so we watched the play to surreptitious shuffling along the rails as they tried to sleep and avoid us at the same time.
