Great!,

This review is from: Shakespeare's Henry V: A Shortened and Simplified Version in Modern English (The Inessential Shakespeare) (Paperback)
A great little reference! I am fairly well-schooled in Shakespeare, but it is always nice to see someone else's "translation". This text offers a concise, 20th-century-speak version of the play, so it is great to read a scene in this and then in the original text. It help me get all of my cast on the same page with regards to what's going on in the scene. I would only recommend it as a companion piece to the original, however, because Henry V has great speeches, and this (by its nature) loses the poetry.
