Join Sweet Tea Shakespeare at the Leggett Theater on William Peace University campus in downtown Raleigh for the One-Weekend-Only run of Henry the Fourth, Part 2, the third installment of Shakespeare’s Henriad, chronicling the ascension of King Henry V of England.
Before he would go on to become a hero of the 100 Years War and eventually secure full control of both the French and English thrones, Henry V was Harry, Prince of Wales; erstwhile heir to the crown of England. Will he have what it takes to continue the reign of of the House of Lancaster, so painfully and brutally won from Richard II by his father Henry Bolingbroke, or will he succumb to the influence of his oldest and dearest friend, his “sweet creature of Bombast”, Sir John Falstaff?
With a cast of just 4 actors playing roles all the characters, this chapter in the greatest of medieval soap-operas is sure to be a fulfilling, if fleeting, theater-going experience for all!
Created by local actors and directors, this show features the talents of North Carolina natives. With a mix of up-and-coming artists and professionals from throughout the region, audiences will witness some of the best talent downtown Raleigh has to offer.
Directed by NC State University faculty member Mia Self, the production features regional professional actors including Laura J. Parker (returning to their role as Prince Hal) Dustin K. Britt, Teal Lepley, and Jed Dixon, with music from Aaron Alderman and the cast. The production stage manager is Mary Margaret Hanna.
