LibriVox[1] recording of King Henry IV, Part 1, by |
|
William Shakespeare. |
|
|
|
King Henry IV, Part 1 is the second of Shakespeare s |
|
eight Wars of the Roses history plays, with events |
|
following those of King Richard II. As the play opens, |
|
King Henry IV (formerly Henry Bolingbroke) and Henry |
|
Percy (Hotspur) argue over the disposition of prisoners |
|
from the Battle of Holmedon. The King s attitude toward |
|
Mortimer and the Percy family prompts them to plot |
|
rebellion. In the meantime, his son Prince Hal is living |
|
the low life in the company of Sir John Falstaff. As the |
|
time of battle nears, Prince Hal joins his father and is |
|
given a high command. The play s climax is the Battle of |
|
Shrewsbury, in which Prince Hal and Hotspur meet and |
|
fight, with Prince Hal and the forces of the King |
|
prevailing. The action continues in King Henry IV, Part |
|
2. From the start this has been an extremely popular play |
|
both with the public and with critics. (Summary by Laurie |
|
Anne Walden and Wikipedia) |
