King Henry V by William Shakespeare

The Elizabethan stage lacked scenery. The Chorus (a single speaker) apologizes for the limitations of the theatre, acknowledging that a Muse of fire, an actual sun, would be the ideal source of theatrical power, and that real princes and a real kingdom are superior to actors and their small stage. The Chorus then speculates: just as an actor plays King Henry, King Henry would play the god of war himself, would ssume the port of Mars.
