King Henry IV: The Shadow of Succession

Shakespeares riveting, epic drama of a family in crisis, and a country on the brink of civil war. Wracked by illness and tormented by guilt, King Henry IV fears for Englands future after his death. The heir to the throne, Prince Hal, seems intent only on a life of debauchery in the company of the dissolute but hilarious Sir John Falstaff. As war looms and the stakes increase, father and son struggle to face their destinies and each other. An L.A.
