We have seen the English king debate his spoils of victory and here the English clowns have their turn. Where the king quarrels over kingdoms and princesses, the clowns carry off shoes and apparel from the field of battle. These characters’ working class perspective on the war once again enriches the play’s depiction of the historical narrative. This was the most confusing of their scenes. To my mind, it is designed as a kind of variety show, a double act in which the clowns presented a series of gags. Alon Nashman (Derrick), however, was determined to give the scene more narrative cohesion. He came up with the idea that John Cobbler’s pack full of apparel () was more valuable than his girdle full of shoes (). Working with Jason Gray (John Cobbler), Alon Nashman developed physical business in which he took John’s pack and left him to collect the shoes. The idea had textual justification since John’s final line indicates that at the end of the scene he is left with the shoes and boots () Their creative work was ingenious but was hard for the audience to follow. It was also driven by the twenty-first century concept that drama should depict action proceeding in a causal manner, in which one character is doing something to another. The scene in its original performance context could easily have worked simply as a series of jokes, a comic double act.
