synopsis
Written some time in the years 1596-97, Henry IV, Part I offers up a rich, if not totally accurate version of the establishment of the Tudor dynasty in England. As the play unfolds, Henry Bolingbroke has deposed Richard II and ascended to the throne. His son, known as Hal, stands poised between princely duties and the temptations of tavern life, extolled by his portly companion and second “father,” Sir John Falstaff. Meanwhile, King Henry faces his own issues of “civil butchery” in the persons of his rival Edmund Mortimer, the Welsh Lord Glendower, and the Northumberland nobles of the Percy clan. Mortimer, also a legitimate heir to Richard’s throne, has been captured by Glendower and is held for ransom. The Percies, tied to Mortimer through the marriage of his sister to Harry Percy (aka Hotspur) demand that King Henry pay the ransom. Henry refuses. In the ensuing months, Glendower decides to marry his own daughter off to Mortimer, and thus ally himself with the rebellious Percies. This uneasy alliance includes Worcester, also a Percy - and in our play - a Machiavellian Duchess instead of a Duke. The pride of this alliance and the Percy family is Hotspur, son of Northumberland - the embodiment of chivalry and honor. Before the Battle of Shrewsbury, Worcester and Sir Richard Vernon meet with the King to settle on terms, saying they will carry the proposal back to the rebel camp. Out of fear for future reprisals, Worcester tells the rebels that the King wants war, rather than the peace he actually offers.
At the climactic Battle of Shrewsbury, Glendower begs off coming at all, using dire prophecy as his excuse; Mortimer never “shows;” and even Hotspur’s own father, the Earl of Northumberland, sends word he is “sick.” Meanwhile Hal fights bravely with the King’s soldiers, and tolerates Falstaff’s disreputable tricks on the battlefield. Left to fight with only his family’s troops and the Scottish Earl of Douglas, Hotspur is killed by Prince Hal and Worcester is captured and beheaded (offstage) along with Vernon. The play ends with an uneasy peace in the land. Hal is redeemed in the eyes of his ailing father. He must now prepare to assume the throne, and deal with Falstaff, but that is for another play.

about williaM shakespeare
williaM shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, and attended the Stratford Grammar School until he was about 15. At 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children. There are no records of Shakespeare’s life between 1585 and 1592, when he first established himself as an actor and playwright in London. Shakespeare’s most productive association was with the acting troupe, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, where he served as actor, playwright, and
shareholder. Between 1592 and 1611, he wrote 37 plays. He spent the earlier part of those years primarily composing comedies and histories, and wrote most of his great tragedies during the period of 1601-1609. Shakespeare composed his romances (1606-1611) when he no longer felt bound by the more realistic devices of his earlier historical and tragic forms. Shakespeare retired to Stratford in 1610, where he lived comfortably as a country gentleman until his death on April 23, 1616.
