The Shakespeare Walking Tour was informative because it was more historically accurate and exact location wise than the Globe exhibition was. I got more historical background on how life was like when Shakespeare was alive and the history of the historic theaters.
Later, we saw Jude Law in Henry V. I believed
this play was anti-war. It showed all of the dark truths of war and promoted peace with the marriage between Henry and Katherine. I would have wanted more spectacle. There were affects such as lightning and smoke. However, I think they relied more on sound than spectacle. I think they could have done more during the war scenes. Having read "Henry V", I found it easier to follow. However, if I had not read the play earlier it would have been harder to follow. I did enjoy the end scene with Henry and Katherine. Jude Law did a great job finding the comedy in it and making it interesting.
