The company felt this was a relatively nondescript scene but used it to begin to build the anticipation of the battle to come. It features the arrival of a French Herald who appears twice more in the play. On his final appearance he kneels to the English king, and in performance we tried to emphasize the herald’s pride here to increase the extent of his later reversal of fortune, who like the Dauphin and Bruges, is another proud Frenchman brought to heel by the English hero king. Paul Hopkins (Henry V) started to mix the stately gravity he assumed on his coronation with some of the playfulness of his performance as the young prince. Hopkins’s Henry V stood at the charismatic center of our nationalistic interpretation of the play.
