Henry IV Part 1

Henry IV Part 1 is the story of Prince Hal (the future King Henry V of England), a fifteenth century wild child who carouses with criminals and commoners, helps his loser chums rob his father’s treasury, and spends all his time in seedy bars. This, of course, all takes place before Prince Hal’s glorious “ reformation,” when he transforms himself from a total disgrace into a noble leader, who helps put down a rebel uprising that threatens his father’s reign, and kills the guy who’s been bad-mouthing him all over England. Wow. Being a young prince is busy work, and this is just Part 1 of the story.
