HENRY IV, PART 1
By William Shakespeare
July 24 – August 4
Following last season’s King Richard II in the next chapter
of Shakespeare’s epic cycle, the irrepressible Falstaff, the prodigal
Prince Hal, and the rebellious Hotspur navigate the shifting sands
of allegiance in King Henry IV’s England. Honor is at stake as commoners
and kings, folly and duty collide in Shakespeare’s richly layered
coming-of-age tale. Prince Hal is called upon to emerge from the raucous
hilarity of Falstaff and his antics at the Boar’s Head Tavern to the valor of
the battlefield, to earn his place as the next great ruler of this “sceptered isle.”
“Extreme Shakespeare.”
This production will be rehearsed the way Shakespeare’s
company would have: Actors arrive with their lines
learned, rehearse on their own, wear what they can find,
and open in a matter of days. No director, no designers.
Just great actors, a compelling play, pure adrenaline,
spontaneity, and creativity.
Recommended for Ages 10+
Prologues: join us for insights into the play in an informal setting. FREE. Held in the the theatre 45 minutes prior to curtain.
Please be advised that groups (ten tickets or more) are not available online.
To purchase group tickets, please call the group sales manager Zach Weidner at 610-282-3654 x2
