Beschreibung
The old King Henry IV, sick and weary, must send his forces, including the unruly Falstaff, to confront another rebellion threatening to push the country to the brink of civil war. As the conflict grows, he must also face a more personal problem: persuading his troublesome son, Prince Hal, to accept his duty as heir and leave his carousing companions behind. Pitting youth against old age, son against father, and carefree hope against the realities of ruling, this is an elegiac drama of pathos and regret. This edition is used and recommended by the National Theatre, with Stanley Wells as general editor, edited by Peter Davison and introduced by Adrian Poole.
