Henry IV, Part 1

I loved this one so much! It made me think about the play in ways I never have before, and the performers were just so flippin' flexible and brilliant!

By far and away my favourite Falstaff.

Hands down the best version of Henry IV I've ever seen.

Simply superb. Everything about this wonderful production is fun, engaging, utterly absorbing and a joy to see.There have been many unforgettable Falstaffs yet Roger Allam's performance is beyond praise - the best I have ever seen. But.....as towering as his performance is, it is part of an overall production that is thoroughly engaging, energetic and fun. Terrific.

Mumble years after hating the Bard as a schoolboy, the Globe has finally opened my eyes. This was a joyous production, which both moved me and had me in stitches. Allam's Falstaff is magnificent - hilarious in the interrogations scene with Parker's excellent Hal; and heart-rending during the Honour speech. King, Hotspur, and Glendower (what a voice) first class as well. Hard to imagine a better production.

I bought this on DVD, having loved the performance and am delighted. The Globe is such a stunning experience, with so much to take in, and with that in mind it is easy to be distracted - 'live' Roger Allam steals the show from a first rate cast. But on DVD, with some great close up camera work, you get to appreciate ALL the performances to the full. Jamie Parker's, in particular, proves to be just as strong as Roger Allam's Falstaff. I bought Part II and now await the Henry V with relish!
