Crispian Speech

THIS STORY SHALL THE GOOD MAN TEACH HIS SON
AND CRISPIN CRISPIAN SHALL NE'ER GO BY
FROM THIS DAY FROM THE ENDING OF THE WORLD
BUT WE IN IT SHALL BE REMEMBERED

WE FEW

WE HAPPY FEW



The Crispian Days Speech is one of the most famous speeches of and renowned throughout.
The meaning behind this speech is very important it is a speech that creates patotism, brother hood and courage. The original speech comes from Henry V when he is rounding the troops preparing them for battle.
This speech is very important to We Happy Few because it is set in the similiar context, the fight, a brotherhood and the courage the women had to do what they did and they weren't deterred no matter what was said.

Every memeber of the players has a line of the speech I feel that each word should be said with punch and conviction.
In order for me to understand the power that is needed for this speech I have reviewed previous performances of the speech imparticular Brangahs interpretation.
