Henry V

I thought that the show was very hard to follow, especially since we came in late. I was jealous of the deaf children, they seemed to be the only ones who got it because they could easily hear, well see, their translators who were signing in plain English. It was hard to hear the actors sometimes, and their dialogue was very complicated.

I am glad that we read the synopsis in class, so I wasn't totally lost. But in some scenes I had no idea what was going on. I was asking myself, "Why are those guys all hugging each other?" "Why is the woman dressed as a boy lying in the doorway?" and "Why is the man with a strange accent hitting another man in the face with a vegetable?"

The actors' body language made up for what I could not understand, although it didn't tell much about what was going on it was very entertaining. 

I think I'd rather read Shakespeare than watch it, that way it is easier to understand and you can go at your own pace.

How about you?
