Henry V was written in 1599 by Shakespeare. It's telling a story that was history then. He is using that story at a number of questions that were very timely for his audience and also for our audience. The questions of what it is to be a leader, what your responsibilities are, what it is actually to listen to your people or not and to know who's being impacted by the decision you are making are incredibly timely.
The interesting part of the play is that the juxtaposition between the original play and modern rock songs. That makes the show exciting fresh and timeless. For this show, they use the Austin production and also Oklahoma. The Austin production really works well, not only the original play but the rock show within the original play. Lighting always is the big part of this rock playing.
The most important question when you are reading a play in term of staging it is "What is the dynamic of the play", "What is the main action to play". A play is really about the idea of being estranged from who you are and being an outsider. The great thing about Shakespeare is that it can be in different worlds, it is freeing in term of design. If your interpretation of the play or you'll basic kind of principle you are working from is rooted deep in the text. It will release the actors. It's very important that the actors they are creative, they are feeling and discovering things. You can't define the play forever, you are defining it according to your response and people you are working with's response at that moment.
