GREAT PERFORMANCES
THE HOLLOW CROWN: HENRY IV, PART 2
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4 @ 7:00PM
In the aftermath of the Battle of Shrewsbury, NORTHUMBERLAND learns of the death of his son. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE attempts, on behalf of the increasingly frail King, to separate FALSTAFF from PRINCE HAL. The rebels continue to plot insurrection. FALSTAFF is sent to recruit soldiers and takes his leave of his mistress, DOLL TEARSHEET. The rebel forces are overcome. This brings comfort to the dying King, who is finally reconciled to his son. FALSTAFF rushes to HAL’s coronation with expectations of high office.
NORTHUMBERLAND is played by Alun Armstrong, LORD CHIEF JUSTICE by Geoffrey Palmer, KING HENRY by Jeremy Irons, FALSTAFF by Simon Russell Beale, PRINCE HAL by Tom Hiddleston and DOLL TEARSHEET by Maxine Peake.
