COMING SOON
Henry's own son, Prince Hal, is living a dissolute life, frequenting the taverns of Eastcheap in the
company of Sir John Falstaff and other disreputable characters.
Opposition to the king becomes open rebellion, led by Hotspur – who now supports Edmund Mortimer’s
claim to the throne. This rebellion brings Prince Hal back to his father's side. The King’s army meet the
rebels at the battle of Shrewsbury, where Hal vows to seek out and defeat Hotspur...
The performance running time is 2 hrs 45 mins plus a 20-minute interval at approximately 8.35pm.
Please make sure all phones are turned off during screening.

Richard II is dead and Bolingbroke is now King Henry IV. Guilt about the removal of Richard troubles
Henry’s conscience. He'd like to go to the Holy Land to pay penance but there are problems at home.
Henry’s reign faces growing opposition from some of those nobles who helped him to the throne –
especially the Percy family. Wales and Scotland are threatening rebellion and Richard's nominated
heir, Edmund Mortimer, looms on the horizon. King Henry’s treatment of Harry ‘Hotspur’ Percy
(the Earl of Northumberland's son) only makes matters worse.
