Shakespeare Live: The Prince & the Knave

The Prince and the Knave takes extracts from Shakespeare’s Henry IV parts 1 and 2 to tell the story of the tortuous relationship between Prince Hal, the future Henry V, and the down-at-heel knight Sir John Falstaff. In his inimitable style, Shakespeare mingles comedy, drama and pathos in the tale of the young prince coming of age and at last finding his destiny, while the boastful, blustering Falstaff follows haplessly in his wake.

Shakespeare Live’s team of actors take multiple roles as they bring to the stage the varied cast of characters who cross paths with this ill-assorted pair as their story unfolds. The scene moves from the seedy streets and taverns of London, across highways and battlefields, to reach the final denouement at the court of the newly-crowned King Henry V.
