Henry V is the first play to be directed by Nicholas Hytner since he took over the helm at the National Theatre in April.

Adrian Lester performs the lead role in Shakespeare's play, one that has never been staged at the National before.

"By the end of the play we believe we have learned a little more about the world - and have enjoyed an evening of first-rate theatre," said BBC News Online's Michael Hubbard.

So what do you think?

Does the modern setting work well? What do you think of Lester's performance?

I saw it on a school trip, being a normal teenager I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but it was brillant! Adrian Lester played a superb lead role, powerful yet funny. It used modern props but the Shakespeare language lives on! Well done everyone, fully recommend it to anyone who loves a good war romance story.
