SHAKESPEARE'S MONUMENTAL EXPLORATION ABOUT KEEPING POWER ONCE YOU'VE TAKEN IT

THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE HENRIAD TETRALOGY, HENRY IV PART ONE TELLS THE STORY OF INSURGENT CIVIL WARS, PRODIGAL SONS, AND FOOLHARDY KNIGHTS.

Adapted by Claire F. Martin.

Henry is not yet secure on his throne, and must fight off rebellions led by Henry Percy (the Earl of Northumberland) and Owen Glendower.

Henry’s son, Hal, is heir apparent to the English throne, but spends his time carousing with the raucous and drunken knight, Sir John Falstaff, and his friends. Henry IV feels that it is unseemly for the heir apparent to revel with a group of rowdy commoners, and Henry warns Falstaff not to corrupt Hal.
A story of fathers and sons, civil brawls in house and in country, this play vibrates with anxiety, joy, and hope for the future.
