Henry IV, Part I plays at the Lantern Theater Company now through May 2nd. Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I, opens with political drama as the recently crowned King Henry finds himself in a world of governmental trouble. But he has other problems on his mind as his son, Prince Hal, takes to frequenting taverns with a sordid company of thieves, drunkards and whores. Hal's friend, the incredibly portly Sir. John Falstaff, is a scoundrel, but also an incredibly humorous man who fills a sort of fatherly role.
