About the Production:
Visionary playwright Mark O’Rowe’s thrilling adaptation distills four action-packed plays—Richard II, Henry IV (Parts 1 & 2), and Henry V—into an epic story of families, wars, and the making of nations. DruidShakespeare opens with the existential struggle of Richard II as he topples from his divinely appointed throne to find himself an all-too-human man, overthrown by Bolingbroke. The tension builds as Bolingbroke, now Henry IV, jeopardizes the crown and alienates himself from his subjects and advisors with persistent arrogance. His son and successor, Prince Hal/Henry V, must then cast aside his youthful vices and companions (including Falstaff) to find redemption for his country.
