SHAKESPEARE - KING HENRY IV FROM LA THEATRE WORKS
LA Theatre Works presents:
King Henry IV
Shakespeare’s riveting, epic drama of a family in crisis, and a country on the brink of civil war. Wracked by illness and tormented by guilt, King Henry IV fears for England’s future after his death. The heir to the throne, Prince Hal, seems intent only on a life of debauchery in the company of the dissolute but hilarious Sir John Falstaff. As war looms and the stakes increase, father and son struggle to face their destinies—and each other.
Adapted by Charles Newell and David Bevington. A Court Theatre co-production.
Recorded before a live audience at the DoubleTree Guest Suites, Chicago in March of 1997.
