Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre: Audience Responses to Henry IV Part 1 (2010)

Find out what our audience thought of Henry IV Part 1, now playing at Shakespeare’s Globe as part of our 2010 Kings and Rigues season. Directed by Dominic Dromgoole, with Jamie Parker as Prince Hal and Roger Allam as Falstaff.

Shakespeare’s Globe: Henry V directed by Dominic Dromgoole

Shakespeare’s masterpiece of the turbulence of war and the arts of peace tells the romantic story of Henry’s campaign to recapture the English possessions in France. But the ambitions of this charismatic king are challenged by a host of vivid characters caught up in the real horrors of war.

Henry V, which opened the new Globe with the words ‘O for a muse of fire’, celebrates the power of language to summon into life courts, pubs, ships and battlefields within the ‘wooden O’ – and beyond.

Much loved for his performance as Prince Hal in Henry IV Parts 1 & 2 (2010), Jamie Parker returns to Hal’s journey as Henry V. Other credits included The History Boys at the National Theatre, on Broadway and on film.
