Brilliant roundup. That Sweet Henry V concept is wild becuase it taps into somthing real about the play's theatricality most serious productions miss. I caught a college production that went full somber and it dragged, but framing Henry as party prince warrior probably nails why audiences loved him originally.

Thank you, and yes! Always interesting to think of the bits of mischief that haven’t quite mortified in him.
