The SQM company attempted to give the final scene the sense of grandeur and spectacle implied by its opening extended stage direction. The actors all entered in procession performing a stately pavanne to musical accompaniment. The scene’s obvious patriotic intentions were a source of amusement for the cast but after some negotiation they agreed to play the scene without parody. Jason Gray (Bacon) rose admirably to the challenge of summoning the prophetic vistion of the play’s future, which was the Queen’s Men’s present and our past. Don Allison (King Henry) closed the action calling all to a great feast to celebrate England’s glory as the other actors progress off the stage to stately music.
