It is a brave move, as the book is so well known and hasn't been out of print since 1936.

Review: HENRY V, Shakespeare's Globe
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 25, 2022

Winter has come to the Globe and it brought Henry V to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for the first time in its history. Holly Race Roughan directs William Shakespeare’s patriotic tale of pride, King, and country in a seductively lit evening that desperately wants to be a fresh anti-imperialist take but stumbles lightly on its own steps.
