there is a scene in which two ill-assorted men,
the vainglorious Glendower and Henry Percy, aka
Hotspur, meet in Bangor. They are there to form a

one. The scene is haunting (Hotspur has not long
to live), yet it is wonderfully funny. During the
course of it, Glendower, who has a reputation as a
wizard, boasts of his magical powers to a
sceptical Hotspur. The exchange is one of my
favourites, and I of...
