Fandom: Henry V
Rating: PG
Length: 104
Summary: A sonnet based on the performance of Henry V I saw at Gloucester Cathedral, in which WWI soldiers perform the play.
This is an Italian sonnet, so the first eight lines serve as the question - in this case the action as the men of Shakespeare's Henry V viewed it; the last six lines, the answer, are the realities for the WWI soldiers.

A/N: This is a copla real, ie two quintillas. A quintilla is a five-lined stanza, each line of eight syllables, with rhyming scheme ababa, abbab, abaab or aabba. I liked the idea that royal in English translates as real in Spanish.

A/N: A few months ago I saw a performance of Henry V by Antic Disposition in Gloucester Cathedral. Set in France in 1915, it took as its premise English and French soldiers in a military field hospital, who perform the play as an aid to recuperation. The first half of this is written purely as relates to Shakespeare’s play, the second is based on the specific production.
