'Presume not that I am the thing I was.'
Dominic Dromgoole's acclaimed production is brought to its conclusion in Part 2 of Shakespeare's historical masterpiece, King Henry IV - a dramatic tale of family, treachery and war that surveys the entire panorama of English life. Staged with 'terrific aplomb' (The Daily Telegraph) and featuring a stellar line-up of actors, this magnificent Globe Theatre performance showcases some of the playwright's most famous dramatic moments and confirms why King Henry IV is one of Shakespeare's most highly regarded works.
Synopsis
Hotspur is dead and Prince Hal has proved his mettle on the battlefield, but Henry IV lies dying and the rebels, though scattered, show no sign of declaring their allegiance to the Crown. Even Falstaff is forced out of the taverns to raise a scratch militia in the country. But will his attachment to the rising Hal be rewarded with that promotion and the life of ease he feels sure he deserves?

If anything, even better that Part 1. Allam gives another magnificent performance, but there is not a performance that is not wonderful. The two elderly justices are brilliant, and the recruitment scene hilarious. Mistress Quickly and Doll Tearsheet also generate their share of laughs. The direction is first class - sight gags bringing out the comedy which were implicit in Shakespeare's text, but which other productions so often miss.
