About This Production
“Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere.” King Henry IV attempts to pass on his knowledge of the kingdom in vain, while his reckless son, Prince Hal, squanders his youth at the taverns with the antically funny Falstaff and his lowbrow comrades. When a fierce rival threatens the throne, will the young prince rise to the occasion?
