"There is virtue in that Falstaff; him keep with, the rest banish." II.iv

The fabulous fat knight, the troubled king, the hot-blooded warrior, the prodigal prince, and his bighearted Eastcheap companions - Henry IV, Part 1 is Shakespeare’s masterful exploration of families, friends, duty, and honor. In this thrilling and poignant coming-of-age story, Shakespeare gives us the whole world – but demands we choose between the thing we desire and the thing we know we must do.

Henry IV, Part 1, opening in September, 2009, is our third production in the series The Histories: The Rise and Fall of Kings.
