Shakespeare's Henry IV Part II
Michael Cronin
Michael Pennington
dir. Michael Bogdanov
English Shakespeare Company
1990

Part of the ESC's complete War of the Roses cycle.

The stirring continuation of the themes begun in Henry IV, Part One again pits a rebellion within the State and that master of misrule, Falstaff, against the maturing of Prince Hal. Alternating scenes between bawdy tavern and regal court, between revelry and politics, Shakespeare probes at the sources, uses, and responsibilities of power as an old king dies and a young king must choose between a ruler's solemn duty and a merry but dissipated friend, Falstaff.

Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part II recorded live at the Grand Theatre in Swansea, performed by the English Shakespeare Company as part of the complete Historical Octology.
