​Henry IV part 1

Picture
Marking the company’s fourth annual production of community-friendly Shakespearean plays, Henry the Fourth part 1 roared into Ramsey Park in the Summer of 2015.

Henry the Fourth Part One is Shakespeare’s most beloved history: featuring the unforgettable character of Falstaff, the heavy, humorous, and hedonistic knight. The story centers on the young prince Hal’s journey from an irresponsible party boy to a brave hero. Rebellion is tearing England apart, with the devious Worcester plotting against King Henry, and Hal must become the man who can defeat the valiant and headstrong Hotspur. This lively play features family drama, romance, sword fighting, and rollicking pub antics.

Henry the Fourth Director Daniel Rigney says, “The story revolves around the most primal human experience: a fight to the death. Surrounding that struggle, though, is a kaleidoscope of characters and moments that transcend us, but in so doing become accessible to us at a fundamental level.”

Rigney served as S4N's Managing Director and co-directed Hamlet with Executive Director Chelsea Bunn.
