'This, of the history plays, is The Tragedy ... the most lyrical
Shakespeare ever wrote' Simon Schama The old king Henry IV, sick
and weary, must send out his forces - including the unruly Falstaff
- to meet another rebellion that threatens to bring the country to
the brink of civil war. But as the conflict grows, he must also
confront a more personal problem - how to make his troublesome son
Prince Hal accept his duty as heir and leave his carousing
companions behind. Pitting youth against old age, son against
father, carefree hope against the realities of ruling, this is an
elegiac drama of pathos and regret. Used and Recommended by the
National Theatre General Editor Stanley Wells Edited by Peter
Davison Introduction by Adrian Poole
