2009/10 Season Henry IV, Part I
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Charles McMahon April 1 - May 2, 2010 
If you enjoyed our darkly comic, Barrymore Award-winning Richard III, you'll love this gripping, ripping plot from Shakespeare's history canon. King Henry, having seized the throne of England from his tyrannical cousin, finds himself in a political hornet's nest. As trouble brews, he is horrified to see his own son and heir keeping company with thieves, drunkards, and whores. Witness the tug of war for the soul of young Prince Hal between his tortured, guilt-ridden father and Sir John Falstaff, a charming and insinuating rogue. As Hal wavers, the King's ambitious enemies, led by the dazzling young Hotspur, are on the rise. Prince Hal must make hard choices and face his fears as civil war threatens to swallow up the kingdom. "The Lantern is the city's most consistent producer of the Bard's work." –Philadelphia Weekly Related Events
