We work our way through the the second half of Act IV of Henry V - this episode covers scenes 4-8. Among many things, we talk about how the boy grounds us with his moments alone with the audience, the difficulty of conveying how quickly the battle turns against the French, the startling moments where the language of violence is mingled with the language of eroticism and intimacy, Fluellen, WIlliams, and Henry: the honesty test, and how after the boys are killed, somehow the men revert to a childlike state.
