Day #10 - Your Favourite History
As previously mentioned, Henry V is my favourite history. I know he wasn't actually the greatest king and there's a lot wrong with history of it, but none of the histories are really that long on history. I adore the Chorus, I love "we happy few", I love "upon this charge cry god for Harry, England, and St. George". Oh, and I dearly love Ken Branagh's version, though I'm not a huge fan of his take on the Chorus, but Patrick Doyle's music is stunning, breathtaking.

Tomorrow, a question I haven't inadvertently already answered!

Agree. Henry V is my favourite as well. I adore the entirety of the Crispin's Day speech, and just. Well. The whole play really.

But then I am an odd one and prefer the histories to the comedies.
