Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 1" performed by the The English Shakespeare Company King Henry IV - Michael Cronin Earl of Westmoreland - Ben Bazell Director Michael Bogdanov Commentary by the Hudson Shakespeare Company: Henry IV, Part 1, was a highly innovative work in 1596 for precisely the reasons that make it one of the greatest of Shakespeare's History Plays. It marks an advance both in Shakespeare's development and in the growth of English drama, for, by repeatedly shifting its focus between affairs of state and bawdy irreverence, the play presents a composite image of a whole society, something that had never been attempted before. In addition to the quarrels and alliances among the aristocracy, the principal interest of the earlier histories, here Shakespeare offers the scruffy circle of common laborers and petty criminals who frequent the Boar's Head Tavern. Both worlds are more vivid for the contrast, and a dramatic tension is established between them. Groundbreaking in its own day, Henry IV is still impressive in ours, due to the range of people, events, and language, from the most casual ribaldry to the boldest rhetoric, realistically presented on stage.

Michele Dotrice gets just right the hard monosylable lines (O yet, for God's sake, go not th these wars!...Never, O never do his ghost the wrong...etc) and the significant pauses, like "O Wonderous him!/O miracle of men!" almost too well, also puts some fine quavering emotion to further emphasize the line after the pause in "Did seem defensable. So you left him." Lady Percy gets rather pointed in her criticism of Northumberland's failure to fulfill his earlier promise to bring his troops up in time to help his son,and this speech can get a bit shrewish and grating, but the actors here nicely keep it on an even keel, underlining Lady Percy's laments but also respect toward her father-in-law, and Bruce <b>...</b>

Earl of Northumberland - Roger Booth Lord Morton - Sion Probert Travers - Simon Elliott Falstaff - Barry Stanton Falstaff's Page - John Tramper Lord Chief Justice - Hugh Sullivan Director Michael Bogdanov Jane Edwardes (Time Out 15.2.89) wrote of this production: "Even with a small cast representing vast armies and a set limited to little more than a removable gantry, the moral degradation, callousness, sweaty fear and entirely unheroic nature of war and the ruthless pursuit of power can rarely have been so graphically represented. Contemporary allusions - from the way Joan of Arc is burnt to death by necklacing to the random shooting of enemies in the back - starkly emphasise that casual brutality is not entirely unknown in this century either."

Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 1" performed by the The English Shakespeare Company Henry Prince of Wales - Michael Pennington Falstaff - Barry Stanton Poins - Charles Dale Director Michael Bogdanov Commentary by the Hudson Shakespeare Company: Prince Hal belongs to both worlds; surrounding him are such boldly drawn figures as the volatile Hotspur and his charming wife, the talkative Hostess, and the many personalities evoked by Falstaffs parodies and imitations: churchmen and highwaymen, knights and knaves. The Prince's significance lies in the choice he must make between worlds, and his dilemma emphasizes, as in the other history plays, the question of order in society. Both the Falstaffian delinquents of the Boar's Head Tavern and the rebels led by Hotspur have contributed to the decay of the social fabric, and King Henry believes that both groups have been sent by heaven in revenge for his own disturbance of society the deposition of King Richard II (as enacted in Richard II). Hal's choice is indeed pivotal for the future of the realm. Of course, Shakespeare's original audiences knew that Hal went on to become the highly successful King Henry V, so there is no suspense about the Prince's choice; the tension lies instead in the presentation of the alternatives.

Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 1" performed by the The English Shakespeare Company Act 1, scene 3, upload A King Henry IV - Michael Cronin Hotspur - Andrew Jarvis Earl of Worcester - Philip Bowen Earl of Northumberland - Roger Booth Director Michael Bogdanov Arthur C. Sprague writes: Hotspur is very likeable, in this early scene, as we compare him with those crafty politicians, his father and uncle, with the nerveless fop of his story, or the threatening, apprehensive, King. At the end of the history, Shakespeare is kind to him, too, and he dies young. Hotspur successful, would soon become intolerable. As it is, he is a figure of romance, made real for us through his eccentricity; and we listen without grudging to his widow's rapturous eulogy of him in "2 Henry IV": By his light Did all the chivalry of England move To do brave acts. He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. He had no legs that practis'd not his gait; And speaking thick (which nature made his blemish) Became the accents of the valiant. Now "thick" here means hurriedly, quickly, as when Imogen bids Pisanio "say, and speak thick".

It is exceedingly difficult to speak of Hotspur satisfactorily; not indeed because the lines of his character are not bold and prominent enough, but rather because they are so much so. For his frame is greatly disproportioned, which causes him to be all the more distinguishable, and perhaps to seem larger than he really is; and one of his leading excesses manifests itself in a wiry, close-twisted, red-hot speech, which burns into the mind such an impression of him as must needs make any commentary seem prosaic and dull. There is no mistaking him: no character in Shakespeare stands more apart in plenitude of peculiarity; and stupidity itself can hardly so disguise or disfeature him with criticism, but that he will still be recognized by any one that has ever seen him. He is as much a monarch in his sphere as the king and Falstaff are in theirs; only they rule more by power, he by emphasis and stress: there is something in them that <b>...</b>

more of Act II, scene IV Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 1" performed by the The English Shakespeare Company Henry Prince of Wales - Michael Pennington Poins - Charles Dale Falstaff - Barry Stanton Mistress - Quickly June Watson Director Michael Bogdanov AC Bradley writes: That Falstaff sometimes behaves in what we should generally call a cowardly way is certain; but that does now show that he was a coward; and if the word means a person who feels painful fear in the presence of danger, and yields to that fear in spite of his better feelings and convictions, then assuredly Fastaff was no coward... "but he ran away on Gadshill; and when Douglas attacked him he fell down and shammed dead." Yes, I am thankful to say, he did. For of course he did not want to be dead. He wanted to live and be merry....Poins is right when he thus distinguishes Falstaff from his companions in robbery: "For two of them, I know them to be as truebred cowards as ever turned back; and for the third, if he fight longer than he sees reason, I'll forswear arms."

Thou compound of sense and vice; of sense which may be admired but not esteemed, of vice which may be despised, but hardly detested. Falstaff is a character loaded with faults, and with those faults which naturally produce contempt. He is a thief, and a glutton, a coward, and a boaster, always ready to cheat the weak, and prey upon the poor; to terrify the timorous and insult the defenceless. At once obsequious and malignant, he satirises in their absence those whom he lives by flattering. He is familiar with the prince only as an agent of vice, but of this familiarity he is so proud as not only to be supercilious and haughty with common men, but to think his interest of importance to the duke of Lancaster. Yet the man thus corrupt, thus despicable, makes himself necessary to the prince that despises him, by the most pleasing of all qualities, perpetual gaiety, by an unfailing power of exciting laughter, which is the more freely indulged, as his wit is not of the splendid or ambitious kind, but consists in easy escapes and sallies of levity, which make sport <b>...</b>

It is not as perfect as the other as an historical tragi-comedy, as on its tragic side it has a less vivid and sustained interest, and approaches in those scenes more to the dramatized chronicle; in fact, adhering much more rigidly to historical authority, and deviating from it very little except in compressing into connected continuous actions events really separated by years. Its nobler characters have much less of chivalric and romantic splendour, and its action less of stage interest and effect, and its poetry far less of kindling and exciting fervour.

Falstaff - Barry Stanton Falstaff's Page - John Tramper Mistress Quickly - June Watson Bardolph - Colin Farrell (actor born 1938) Poins - Charles Dale Doll Tearsheet - Francesca Ryan Director Michael Bogdanov From Charles Cowden Clarke's"Shakespeare-Characters" : With the genial spirit in which his sweet nature was conceived, Shakespeare contrives to throw in some dash of feeling—a motion of our common humanity—some extenuation, even in his worst characters; for, whatever they were besides, they were also men, and unmitigated evil belongs only to the origin of all evil—not to human nature. With the accurate perception, however, of true morality, he has not imparted to the character of Falstaff—attractive as it is for its sociality, wit, humour, and imagination—any of those intrinsic qualities which would set him up as an object of imitation—of course in his convivialities, his roystering, and other laxities; but he has associated them with the meaner vices of profligacy, turning these to the fullest account in completing the character.

Act III, scene ii (back at the Palace in London) Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 1" performed by the The English Shakespeare Company King Henry IV - Michael Cronin Henry Prince of Wales - Michael Pennington Sir Walter Blunt - Mihcael Fenner Director Michael Bogdanov DA Traversi writes (from his "Henry IV, part I: History and the Artist's Vision") [Shakespeare's] true originality begins to appear when the political is over-shawdowed by the personal interest. Henry IV is punished for his past sins not only as King in the weariness which increasingly overtakes him and in the growing sense of impotence which sometimes raises him to moments of tragic intesnsity, but as father in the most intimate concerns of his life. It is here that Shakespeare, stll using inherited and familiar material, show the true originality of his conception... Henry's first speech to his son (III, ii) is most revealing in its remarkable blend of true personal pathos and political calculation. The former shades indeed almost insensibly into the latter. That the father is genuinely wounded by his son's behavior, that he is moved with "tenderness", that he "hath desired to see" him more often, is certain; but as we read the long speech we cannot help suspecting that the speaker's only true moral criterion is political success. To say this is to put one's finger upon the movtive that impels the House of Lancaster all through these plays...

All accounts agree in representing Bolingbroke as a man of great reach and sagacity ; a politician of inscrutable craft, full of insinuation, brave in the field, skilful alike at penetrating others' designs and at concealing his own; unscrupulous alike in smiling men into his service and in crunching them up after he had used them. All which is fully borne out in that, though his reign was little else than a series of rebellions and commotions proceeding in part from the injustice whereby he reached the crown and the bad title whereby he held it, yet he always got the better of them, and even turned them to his advantage. Where he could not win the heart, cutting off the head, and ever plucking fresh security out of the dangers that beset him; his last years, however, were much embittered, and his death probably hastened, by the anxieties growing out of his position, and the remorses consequent upon his crimes.

Though spotty, playwrights as well as other writers of the day put their best foot forward touting the patriotic spirit of mother England and their physical mother Queen Elizabeth. Continuing in his practice of mixing comic and tragic elements, Shakespeare sought to counter balance the often stuffy historical scenes with scenes from the life of common folk. This was an innovation for this type of genre as most of his contemporaries usually stuck with the high historical points. Henry IV is also set apart the apparently personal familial tone it takes as opposed to Richard II and King John, two histories written a year earlier. It's perhaps no coincindence that a central father and son theme crops up in the same time when Shakespeare's own son Hamnet dies on May 11, 1596.

Silence - Philip Bowen Robert Shallow - Clyde Pollitt Falstaff - Barry Stanton Bardolph - Colin Farrell (actor born 1938) Director Michael Bogdanov Commentary By Henry Norman Hudson: Nor is Falstaffs mind tied to exercises of wit and humour. He is indeed the greatest of make-sports, but he is something more. (He must be something more, else he could not be that.) He has as much practical sagacity and penetration as the King. Except the Prince, there is no person in the play who sees so far into the characters of those about him. Witness his remarks about Justice Shallow and his men: "It is a wonderful thing to see the semblable coherence of his men's spirits and his: they, by observing of him, do bear themselves like foolish justices; he, by conversing with them, is turned into a justice-like serving-man. If I had a suit to Master Shallow, I would humour his men with the imputation of being near their master; if to his men, I would curry with Master Shallow, that no man could better command his servants." Which is indeed a most shrewd and searching commentary on what Sir John has just seen and heard. It is impossible to hit them off more felicitously.

Equally fine, also, is the account of his predecessor immediately following that of himself; where we see that he has the same sharp insight of men as of means, and has made Richard's follies and vices his tutors; from his miscarriages learning how to supplant him, and perhaps encouraging his errors, that he might make a ladder of them, to mount up and overtop him. The whole scene indeed is pregnantly characteristic both of the King and the Prince. And how the King's penetrating and remorseless sagacity is flashed forth in Hotspur's outbursts of rage at his demanding all the prisoners taken at Homildon ! wherein that roll of living fire is indeed snappish enough, but then he snaps out much truth. But, though policy was the leading trait in this able man, nevertheless it was not so prominent but that other and better traits were strongly visible <b>...</b>

But it may be observed that in Feudal ages rank and wealth were not only connected with the point of honour, but with personal strength and natural courage With respect to every infirmity, except that of Cowardice, we must take him as at the period in which he is represented to us. If we see him dissipated, fat,- it is enough;- we have nothing to do with his youth, when he might perhaps have been modest, chaste, 'and not an Eagle's talon in the waist.'

Shakespeare's "King Henry IV, Part 2" from "The War of the Roses" (English Shakespeare Company, UK, 1990) is a direct filming, from the stage, of Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington's 7-play sequence based on Shakespeare's history plays. Robert Shallow - Clyde Pollitt Falstaff - Barry Stanton Bardolph - Colin Farrell (actor born 1938) Henry Prince of Wales - Michael Pennington Lord Chief Justice - Hugh Sullivan Duke of Clarence - Stephen Jameson Prince John of Lancaster - John Dougall Director Michael Bogdanov Commentary By Henry Norman Hudson on Prince Henry: Prince Henry was evidently a great favourite with the Poet. And he makes him equally so with his readers: pouring the full wealth of his genius upon him; centring in him almost every manly grace and virtue, and presenting him as the mirror of Christian princes and loadstar of honour; a model at once of a hero, a gentleman, and a sage. Wherein,if not true to fact, he was true to the sentiment of the English people; who probably cherished the memory of Henry the Fifth with more fondness than any other of their kings since the great Alfred. In the character of this man Shakespeare deviated from all the historical authorities known to have been accessible to him. Later researches, however, have justified his course herein, and thus given rise to the notion of his having drawn from some traditionary matter that had not yet found a place in written history. An extraordinary conversion was generally thought to have <b>...</b>

Robert Shallow - Clyde Pollitt Falstaff - Barry Stanton Pistol - Paul Brennen Henry Prince of Wales - Michael Pennington Lord Chief Justice - Hugh Sullivan Prince John of Lancaster - John Dougall Director Michael Bogdanov Commentary By Henry Norman Hudson on Prince Henry: Prince Henry's conduct was indeed such as to lose him his seat in the Council, where he was replaced by his younger brother. Nevertheless it is certain that in mental and literary accomplishment he was in advance of his age; being in fact one of the most finished gentlemen as well as greatest statesmen and best men of his time. This seeming contradiction is all cleared up in the Poet's representation. It was for the old chroniclers to talk about his miraculous conversion: Shakespeare, in a far wiser spirit, and more religious too, brings his conduct within the ordinary rules of human character; representing whatever changes occur in him as proceeding by the methods and proportions of nature. His early "addiction to courses vain" is accounted for by the character of Falstaff; it being no impeachment of his intellectual or moral manhood, that he is drawn way by such a mighty magazine of fascinations. It is true, he is not altogether unhurt by his connection with Sir <b>...</b>

PARIS - MAY 14TH, 1610 - 4:10 PM HENRI IV IS ASSASSINATED BY A RELIGIOUS FANATIC, RAVAILLAC.

Mr. Pennington, who has been seen to great advantage with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-on-Avon, outshines his previous accomplishments, playing Richard II, Prince Hal and Henry V, as well as a variety of minor roles from a doddering ancient to a punk version of the rebel Jack Cade in ''Henry VI.'' His finest hour is at Agincourt as a bold Henry V, and it is no disparagement to suggest that his energy seemed somewhat depleted by the end of the marathon when he played Buckingham in ''Richard III.'' For Mr. Pennington, the marathon is a feat of artistry as well as of memory. His performances are matched by those of <b>...</b>

Henry's first speech to his son (III, ii) is most revealing in its remarkable blend of true personal pathos and political calculation. The former shades indeed almost insensibly into the latter. That the father is genuinely wounded by his son's behavior, that he is moved with "tenderness", that he "hath desired to see" him more often, is certain; but as we read the long speech we cannot help suspecting that the speaker's only true moral criterion is political success. To say this is to put one's finger upon the movtive that impels the House of Lancaster all through these plays...

In Act II, Scene IV (lines 438-527), Falstaff pretends he is the king, Prince Hal's father, and lectures the prince on his vices. Then, the Prince, in parody, plays his father and scolds himself for keeping company with Falstaff - "That villainous abominable misleader of youth." In Act V, Scene IV (lines 75-165), Prince Hal has developed into a serious and compassionate warrior. Falstaff, by contrast, believes that the "better part of valor is discretion."
