Shakespeare’s most thrilling coming-of-age story bursts to life this summer. In Henry IV, Part 1, young Prince Hal wastes his nights in taverns with the outrageous Sir John Falstaff and a band of rogues—while rebellion brews against his father’s crown. But the time soon comes when Hal must leave behind his reckless companions, confront the fiery Hotspur on the battlefield, and prove himself worthy of the throne. By turns riotously funny and deeply stirring, this play explores honor, loyalty, and the painful but necessary path from youth to responsibility. It’s the story of a prince who must decide what kind of man—and what kind of king—he will become. Directed by Justin Hopkins.
