Henry IV (NDSF 2014)

Author: Shakespeare at Notre Dame

Henry IV 

“Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”

Henry IV features one of Shakespeare’s greatest creations: brilliant wordsmith and decadent party-boy, Sir John Falstaff. Balanced against a monarch, a warrior, and a princely heir, Falstaff’s wit and pathos loom large. In this conflation drawn from both parts of Henry IV, two father-figures wrangle for the love of a son whose destiny will rattle the rafters of the world.
