Shakespeare's Agincourt: An English Victory. Patrick Spottiswoode Director Globe Education, Shakespeare's Globe
2015 marks the 600th anniversary of the English defeat of the French at Agincourt. But in Henry V Shakespeare celebrates more than a military victory. At the time of writing the English language was definitely on the march but needed reinforcements before it could assert itself on the international stage.
For this special English Language Council Lecture, Patrick Spottiswoode will explore how Shakespeare and his contemporaries sought to celebrate the English tongue as well as mock its limitations.
Patrick's talk will be illustrated by two Globe actors.
