Globe Theatre: Henry IV, Part 1 (2010)

England, 1403. With weak-willed King Richard II dead, ruthless Henry IV is ready to consolidate his power over England. But King Henry has a problem. The royal heir, Prince Henry -- Prince Hal to his friends -- has no interest in chivalry or politics. The rebellious young prince spends his days at the Boar's Head Tavern, learning sin and debauchery from prostitutes and pickpockets. Among the lowly is a fallen nobleman, Sir John Falstaff, whose irreverent outbursts contain serious lessons about war and the price of glory. With rebellion on the rise, can Prince Hal show his true colors, regain his father's respect, and save England from bloody civil war?

The first installment of what is widely acknowledged to be Shakespeare's greatest historical saga, King Henry IV Part 1 is an epic tale of power,
treachery and war, exploring the complexity of father-son relationships. Featuring an Olivier Award-winning performance from Roger Allam as Falstaff, the comical mentor to Jamie Parker's prince Hal, this celebrated and authentic production - expertly directed by Dominic Dromgoole - presents this classic play in all its glory.
