William Shakespeare's historical plays performed at the Royal
Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2014. In 'Henry IV -
Part I', King Henry IV (Jasper Britton) is troubled by the
behaviour of his son and heir, Prince Hal (Alex Hassell), who has
forsaken the Royal Court to waste his time in taverns with the
likes of Sir John Falstaff (Antony Sher), an old, fat, jovial
drunkard who captivates the young prince with his zest for life. In
'Henry IV - Part II', when Henry is confined to his bed with a
serious illness it seems likely that Hal will shortly be appointed
king. Hal's suitability for the role, however, concerns the present
king even as his death approaches and Hal takes the decision to
spend less time with his friends in preparation for the
responsibilities of leadership. Falstaff, meanwhile, comes out of
semi-retirement to raise a small militia. Now getting on in years,
the rascal hopes his friendship with Hal will land him the
comfortable retirement he seeks, but will Hal be true to his old
allies when he finally puts on the crown?
