King Henry IV, Part 1

Shakespeare’s King Henry IV, Part 1 plunges you into a kingdom teetering on rebellion, where political intrigue and the burdens of rule collide with the reckless freedom of youth. At the center is Prince Hal—equal parts charming rogue and reluctant heir—whose riotous companionship with the larger-than-life Sir John Falstaff provides rollicking comedy and unexpected moral depth as personal loyalties and public duty begin to clash. Rich in thrilling confrontations, wrenching choices and razor-sharp language, this play explores honor, leadership and identity with a pulse that feels as immediate today as it did on the Elizabethan stage.
