He doesn't really employ this much in the other history plays; only with Richard in Richard III and Falstaff in Henry IV do you have a man walk to the front of the stage, eyeball the audience, and say, 'You, you people sitting in these seats, I'm talking to you directly'. It remains daring, even now," Mendes says.
