Rebellion is brewing in Britain.
King Henry must reunite his country but how when even his own family is divided?
As Henry's rule is threatened his son Hal appears unconcerned, wasting his time in the company of the comically corrupt Falstaff and common thieves, apparently more interested in play than the politics of state. Yet what kind of leadership is needed to unite the country might well be found in the taverns of Eastcheap as within the Palace of Westminster.
King Henry ..... Iain Glen
Written by William Shakespeare
Music composed by John Nicholls.
Adapted and directed by Sally Avens.
