King Henry IV, Part 1 by William Shakespeare
QR code
"King Henry IV, Part 1" by William Shakespeare is a history play written no later than 1597. The drama follows England's troubled monarch as rebellion brews among powerful nobles, while his son Prince Hal wastes time in taverns with the disreputable Sir John Falstaff. As political conspiracy escalates toward armed conflict, the wayward prince must choose between his reckless companions and his duty to the crown. Three separate worlds—royal court, rebel conspiracy,
and comic tavern life—hurtle toward a climactic confrontation at the Battle of Shrewsbury. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
