About This Production
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” In this special event, you’ll see William Shakespeare’s story of burnt bridges and growing pains stripped down to a lively, raw, rambunctious performance, like nothing you’ve experienced before. Orlando Shakes’ actors will tackle Henry IV, Part 2 with less than 40 hours of rehearsal, no designers, and no director – just like the acting companies of Shakespeare’s time!
Be a part of the Fire and Reign series’ epic journey!
Henry IV, Part 2 is part of Orlando Shakes’ Fire and Reign series, a seven Shakespeare production journey through history over three seasons covering the Rise of Henry V and the Wars of the Roses, from Richard II – Richard III.
Patrons who see Orlando Shakes’ Henry IV, Part 1, Bare Bard: Henry IV, Part 2, as well as the yet to be announced production of Henry V, will earn a limited-edition “I saw the Rise of Henry V” dog tag.
