Good grief...it’s literally unfair how multi-skilled/multi-talented Jamie is. Phenomenal actor of the highest order who can bounce between Non Shakespeare as well as Shakespeare work, has a glorious singing voice that can do musicals and HAS, aaannddd is a crack piano player...HOW THIS IS FAIR TO THE REST OF US LITTLE PEOPLE??
Do you know the joke of the couple which are looking for the Carnegie Hall? They ask a man with a violin case how to get there. Without looking up, he answers, “Practice, practice, practice." I think our Henry here wouldn't be able to do all theese things without it. :) But I admit without talent he could never achieve his abilities on that high level.
Jamie Parker is simply amazing! I saw him as Harry Potter in cursed child and i think he would deserve to win his Olivier Award so much! It's a shame he doesn't have one yet! He is amazing in this video, so much passion
I love Jamie’s performance as Prince Harry then Henry V! He clearly knows what he’s saying and the lines come out so naturally. Shakespeare is always more understandable and enjoyable when the actor knows what he’s saying.
It is nice, but I feel it lacks the impact that the scene demands. It doesn't feel like a passionate rallying call to once again storm a defended breach in a castle.
I need some quick info on this monologue because I perform this in front of my teacher and fellow classmates tomorrow in class during 5th period. I just need to know the even or moment before this monologue and the character speaking..
why did he skip this part: let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. ?
There are different versions to the play, globe, stage and aristocracy versions often making each play longer or shorter as well as having different meanings. E.g. They cut out the upper class hating jokes in the aristocratic versions and place in troglodyte humour instead.
And those four lines especially, some of Shakespeare's best...? It is a masterful and pertinent image and metaphor, even with more than a hint of tragic irony. It is almost the whole play in miniature, with echoes through his other histories. Anyway it really needs to be in this speech.
The more I watch this video the more I think it is fine they are left out. Adding those four lines would take the energy out of this performance. I know it was rushed but I like it more this way.
I think it is about the worst four lines you could leave out of this legendary speech. As poetry and in terms of the play they are some of the best lines, and absolutely lend themselves to being delivered on stage. 'Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean,' is one of Shakespeare's best timed and brilliant lines.
I take it English isn't your first language, it's funny because he is asking if he has been bred to be brave or strong, he picks out a member of the crowd and asks him directly breaking the fourth wall as well as suggesting for a second he may not be brave and strong. Also this is the traditional way to perform Shakespearean plays as they seemed to interact with audiences and brings a wide range of genres such as adding comedy to action and tragedy.
This was a glorious rendition of "once more unto the breach...
About the best I've ever seen
Addressing 'Good yeomen...' to the floor spectators was so iconic!
I love this performance, there's just so much wound-up energy being released in the right increments and building up to the final cry!
That voice crack at the end. He really did not hold ANYTHING back in that performance.

Why do I have the sudden urge to lay siege to Harfleur?
Well go on then. 😂 Once more unto the breach, dear friend, once more....
Courtesy of Shakespeare's power of his words!!
Ive watched this like 10000 times and its still so great
Jamie Parker is simply amazing! I saw him as Harry Potter in cursed child and i think he would deserve to win his Olivier Award so much! It's a shame he doesn't have one yet! He is amazing in this video, so much passion
Very good. Awesome how he worked in with the audience member. Also include them in the final "...and St. John!"
James Baxter St. George
This was electric!
Yes my favourite this one of all .
I love Jamie’s performance as Prince Harry then Henry V! He clearly knows what he’s saying and the lines come out so naturally. Shakespeare is always more understandable and enjoyable when the actor knows what he’s saying.
I wanna go to the globe; this looks awesome fun!
Shakespeare would have been proud.... Oh, and King Harry too!
Then I I see 6 years ago
The end bit when the audience jump onto the stage 😂
So great!
“God for Harry, Saint Gorge, and for England!”
Chills.
Full adrenaline and fire
Well done sir!
Such a underrated speech man better than crispins day in my opinion
impressive!
Wow i wanna join in.
Original rush B tactic!
Ya. we are tight light a tiger!
Wow. His words are very easy to understand. Maybe I’m just getting used to Shakespeare.
like a light tiger. sic
No wonder British people love to banter so much
It is nice, but I feel it lacks the impact that the scene demands. It doesn't feel like a passionate rallying call to once again storm a defended breach in a castle.
it was a little fast in my opinion, he rushed it but that's just my opinon
But..it has to be rushed :o In my opinion, that shows that they are in middle of battle.
JokeRmakesPie
Exactly.
They're tin the middle of a battle, in the heat of the moment. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Every rendition I've ever seen does and it's super annoying. It's so unnatural
You can tell this production was done in 2013 because all the actors are the same race as what the characters would've been: white.
I need some quick info on this monologue because I perform this in front of my teacher and fellow classmates tomorrow in class during 5th period. I just need to know the even or moment before this monologue and the character speaking..
It was a pity that it was so... rushed, because otherwise I think it was brilliant.
GOD FOR HARRY! ENGLAND! AND SAINT GEORGE!
why did he skip this part:
let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
?
I noticed that too, don't know why

Give me sword quick 😊
And that speech means, what?
I don't think he said all this
.....rushed it.
It's a battle. Hence the urgency.
But I agree it didn't come across as urgent, it came across as rushed. Hard to pinpoint the difference admittedly.
comments go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Cheerleaders for brutality.
Daily.
He has a very good energy but I don’t think he should be trying to be funny. More suited for some of pistols antics.
Public laught in 1:25 why? I thing was a defect, or was a part of comedy: "Let us swear, that you are worth you breeding"?
That's a part of the play, yes.
Yes , but I mean public laughts, and I think that is wrong because not is comedy...
