Henry IV, Part I By William Shakespeare @ Shakespeare Tavern
Featuring Maurice Ralston as King Henry IV, Brik Berkes as Prince Hal, Charles Nelson as Hotspur and Tony Brown* as Sir John Falstaff. Directed by Jeff Watkins
Our story continues as Bolingbroke has accepted the crown of England, becoming King Henry IV. Thus the Henry Chronicles begin. The King has much on his mind. Not only does he have to deal with a rebellion led by Glendower, Northumberland and Hotspur, but his son and heir to the throne, Prince Hal, is behaving badly. It seems that Prince Hal has taken to hanging out at the Boar’s Head Tavern with the roguish knight Sir John Falstaff and his conspicuous friends. What is a father to do? And what will Prince Hal do when he is called upon to help his father fight the rebels? Tawdry fun and Tavern games quickly turn to life and death as Prince Hal and Hotspur face off in the Battle of Shrewsbury- a battle that will seal Hal and Hotspur’s fate.
