“A Distinguished Company Breathes Life Into Shakespeare’s Lusty Age of FALSTAFF”
Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.
A sweeping, boisterous, yet ultimately melancholic exploration of aging and honor. It feels like a grand, theatrical stage play brought to life, with witty dialogue and a profound sense of history. A true epic of flawed humanity.
