Henry the 4th: Shrewsbury

Groundlings Show

Four performers tell the story of Henry the Fourth, Harry Percy, Sir John Falstaff, and Prince Hal as they battle for the future of England, leading up to a massive battle. As Henry the Fourth and Falstaff pull Prince Hal in different directions: one towards power and authority, one towards waste and frivolity. Meanwhile, Harry Percy looms as the perfect opponent. Based on the play by Shakespeare, reduced down to a tight hour long performance.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s original playhouses, audiences are encouraged to cheer, jeer, and get involved in the story. This is a show for the groundlings.
