I think the RSC did the heads in sacks (someone who has seen it will be along to correct me, I'm sure, if I am wrong, but the description I recall was that they got piled up at Henry's feet). I am all about onstage severed heads, at any rate.

Also I think if the gardener does patronize Queenie she should grab the nearest pair of hedge clippers and threaten him with them. BECAUSE. AWESOME.

Slashy bloody productions of RII are the best. I feel that the language, in production, should offset the potential for brutality, not (pace Meredith Skura) sublimate it.
