- Stills
- Hoile (op cit) notes `...Lyne has designed a set with a trench in the orchestra pit, a playing area on the stage apron, and a huge ramp on what looking like a ship-builder’s scaffold fallen askew--another willful misreading of the text... All the English, except Henry when in state, wear black and in battle look like World War I soldiers. The French are clad in powder blue Renaissance outfits that make the men look like members of a cross-dresser’s society’
- Reviews
- Jenstad, Janelle Day. Shakespeare Bulletin 21, no. 2 (2003): 48-50 (in review-article). Christopher Hoile reviewer with www.stage-door.org (accessed 1/2008). Hoile writes `...Instead of having us "eke out" the performance with our minds, she [Lambermont] has a large screen at the back of the stage showing still or moving images to set scenes and portray the action. We don’t need to "think" that we see horses when they are mentioned because she shows us a video of them. With this bit of technological hubris she ruins Shakespeare’s fullest meditation on the relation of theatre to reality’.
