While you'll probably find me irritatingly "woke" myself, I'm not at all thrilled when national literary treasures are messed about with like this.

I'm absolutely fine with adaptations being produced (and there's a whole world of those, good and bad!), but if you're doing 'Henry V' by Shakespeare then I am absolutely a traditionalist. I pay to see Shakespearian plays, I want to see them as like as damn it to how Shakespeare would have directed the original Elizabethan performers to play it.

There's plenty time and myriad places where the play can be discussed and dissected. Looked at in the light of the 21st century - and I wholeheartedly encourage that! Including home, schools, in the car after the show, over supper, over breakfast, in the pub with your mates.

Talk about the issues, write about them far and wide - but don't change the play!!
