FROM THE DIRECTOR The nature of leadership is deeply embedded in Shakespeare’s histories and is something that has always fascinated me. What drew me specifically to 1 Henry IV from the start was the coming­of­age story of a young leader. At the heart of the play for me is a young man, torn between passion and duty, id and superego on a journey towards becoming a leader.

I love that Shakespeare gives us a window into a young Henry V, the legendary King who conquers France and unites England. We get to see him when he was still Hal: a flawed, imperfect, reckless version of that mythical icon. We get to experience the duality of who he is, the temptations and the challenges he faces on his winding path towards growing up and assuming responsibility.

Henry IV is also a story of fathers and sons—particularly of a young man torn between two fathers: On the one hand, his distant, authoritarian, biological father, Henry IV. And then the polar opposite: his ebullient, irrepressible, surrogate father, Falstaff. The relationship between Hal and Falstaff is for me the great love story of this

play: it delights and dismays me in equal measure. It’s the special seductive genius of Shakespeare that he has created this dynamic couple that I know ultimately may not be good for each other, but for whom I just can’t help rooting.

This intensely personal story about growing up plays out against a political backdrop of civil discord and questions of rightful rule, reminding us that Shakespeare’s histories are the ultimate examination of how the personal and the political are intertwined. They are stories about powerful families in conflict, making political decisions that affect ordinary people: decisions that are driven by deeply personal ambitions, loyalties, and vendettas. For me, this resonance makes these plays about medieval English history startlingly relevant to a contemporary American audience and that makes 1 Henry IV a compelling story for us today.

FROM THE DRAMATURG “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”

– II Henry IV

sun.” The timing, he says, is everything.

Many of Shakespeare’s histories

An enthusiastic crew in Eastcheap encourages Hal’s deferral. Theirs is a world governed by “sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff” who rallies a gang of good­natured thieves. King Henry chastises Hal for these associations, for what he calls Hal’s “vile participation,” but, in fact, the play draws unmistakable parallels between the court of Henry IV and Eastcheap. Though the King perpetuates distance between royals and citizens, the play bristles at that divide. Thieves and nobles alike ransack the commonwealth; we are invited to determine who are the greater villains.

confirm this truth, but King Henry IV, born Henry Bolingbroke, knew it intuitively and lived it. He deposed his cousin Richard II, who, even once his crown was lost, found his head unsteady upon his shoulders. Richard was murdered at Pontefract Castle, presumably at the request of Henry. Henry IV’s own crown settled uncomfortably at best. He confronted rebellion almost immediately. But in Shakespeare’s telling, the youthful defiance of Henry’s eldest son, Hal, hit him as hard as his nation’s civil wars. Prince Hal’s waywardness provoked Henry IV’s unease. The King read his son’s behavior as “the hot vengeance and the rod of heaven / To punish my mistreadings.”

Henry IV’s missteps will be remedied by his son and successor, but not just yet. Hal’s unorthodox journey from prince to king, from prodigal to patriot is tracked in three of the four plays comprising Shakespeare’s “Henriad.” The tetrolology concludes with Henry V, in which Hal matures into his name, his crown, and his heroic status. In 1 Henry IV, however, he is a reluctant prince grappling with responsibility and delaying his obligations. He describes his duties toward the state as “a debt I never promisèd.” It’s a fair assessment; still, the Prince intends to pay it, to throw off his loose behavior and “imitate the 6

Hal’s participation in both simple and sovereign worlds enables us to see private battles fought on a national plane. Director Rosa Joshi is sharply attentive to the play’s confusion of the personal and the political. Within that convergence is a pervasive doubling. Instincts and actions are played and replayed in the movement from court to tavern, city to battleground. Language doubles on itself. (Listen for repeated words and phrases throughout.) Characters reflect and refract one another, not only in the representation of Hal’s duel fathers, but also in the mirroring of fathers and sons, royals and rebels. Key to this structure are the “Harrys” that appear on either side of civil war:

Prince Hal and Henry “Hotspur” Percy.

Though he is Hal’s rival, Hotspur’s appeal is undeniable. His exceptional courage is exceeded only by his youthful cocksure recklessness. (Shakespeare modifies historical record here; Hotspur had nearly three decades on Hal.) But his willingness to divide the kingdom among co­conspirators is a red flag.

Hotspur’s impulsivity has its charm, but he lacks the careful judgement that will mark Henry V’s leadership.

When the Harrys confront one another, Hal makes clear that England cannot “brook a double reign / Of Harry Percy and the Prince of Wales.” He’s right, though our sympathies are potentially divided.

Hotspur promotes himself as honor incarnate, prepared to “pluck bright honor from the pale­faced moon.”

‘Honor’ is a topic addressed across the Henriad, and particularly in this first part of the Henry IV plays. The word is used most often by or about Hotspur, but Falstaff, too, makes a theme of it, exposing it as an airy nothing: “Can honor set to a leg?

No. Or an arm? No. Or take away the grief of a wound? No.” Falstaff has the guts to announce that the wretched soldiers recruited for the King are “food for powder.”

Certainly, swapping men’s lives for promises of honor is a thieving beyond any practiced in Eastcheap.

Prince Hal speaks of honor more and more as the play progresses.

But only his actions as Prince and, later, as King can set honor’s value

at its true rate, and at last achieve a measure of ease for the head that wears the crown.

–Michele Osherow

SYNOPSIS 1 Henry IV culminates in the battle of Shrewsbury between the king’s army and rebels seeking his crown. The dispute begins when Hotspur, the son of Northumberland, breaks with the king over the fate of his brother­in­ law, Mortimer, a Welsh prisoner.

Hotspur, Northumberland, and Hotspur’s aunt Worcester plan to take the throne, later allying with Mortimer and a Welsh leader, Glendower.

As that conflict develops, Prince Hal— Henry IV’s son and heir—carouses in a tavern and plots to trick the roguish Sir John Falstaff and his henchmen, who are planning a highway robbery. Hal and a companion will rob them of their loot—then wait for Falstaff’s lying boasts. The trick succeeds, but Prince Hal is summoned to war.

In the war, Hal saves his father’s life and then kills Hotspur, actions that help to redeem his bad reputation.

Falstaff, meanwhile, cheats his soldiers, whom he leads to slaughter, and takes credit for Hotspur’s death.

Building on the legacy of Henry and Emily Folger, the Folger Shakespeare Library will construct a new pavilion to share our peerless collection with 21st-century audiences. New engaging galleries and inviting public spaces will make our exhibitions more accessible and expand our reach. The Wonder of Will campaign will raise $50 million to support this effort as well as the many programs that bring Shakespeare and his world to life.

The reimagined west garden and accessible entry plaza to the Folger Shakespeare Library.
