Zounds!!!
You’ve never heard of this play before?
You’re suspicious that it sounds like a homework assignment?
Fear not!
Shakespeare was bold about adapting history to serve storytelling, so King Henry IV, Part 1 has a bit of everything. Be prepared for politics and pranks, fathers and sons, rebellion and loyalty, courage and cowardice, all of which come to life when this play’s royals, rebels, and rascals vie for power and position.
Visit the Folger Shakespeare Library online to read their edition of King Henry IV, Part 1 and to explore other resources about this timeless and dynamic play!
At this time, we are excited to announce our July 2026 play:
