King Henry IV, Part I

1598

Shakespeare's history play, in which the Percy rebellion threatens Henry IV's reign while his heir drinks in the Eastcheap taverns with Falstaff. The two stories meet at Shrewsbury, where Prince Hal kills Hotspur and Falstaff carries the body off to claim the credit. Nineteen scenes across five acts, with the Dramatis Personae the edition prints before them.
