‘You can really be riding a horse, and really riding into battle.  There’s no off stage drums and colours.  You’re in an actual battle.’

Tom Hiddleston on the benefits of being able to interpret Shakespeare’s Henriad on screen

I had this entire Shakespeare quote planned for this gifset but… erm… Yeah. I got distracted.

‘Dost thou speak like a king? Do thou stand for me, and I’ll play my father.’

                      Act II Scene IV, Henry IV

[thehumming6ird]

’In some ways, the climax of Part I is the extraordinary scene between Hal and Falstaff… I decided I wanted to shoot it straight through with two cameras; we’d rehearsed, but never run it through, and I didn’t want the extras to have witnessed it before. It was remarkable: eight minutes long, Simon and Tom both acting their hearts out. It felt so intense and clear. Afterwards, several of the crew asked me whether I’d rewritten it. I hadn’t changed a word.’ Richard Eyre, Director of Henry IV, Part I

‘The king is not to answer it.’

Henry V Act IV Scene I
