'Presume not that I am the thing I was.'

— Act V, Scene 5

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?
