ShakesBEER: Henry IV, Part I
ShakesBEER: Henry IV, Part I
Prepare for a wild ride through the taverns of England in ShakesBEER’s tipsy take on Henry IV, Part I!
This epic history play of power, rebellion, and father-son drama gets a boozy twist as our actors dive headfirst into the world of King Henry IV, Prince Hal, and the legendary Falstaff. Watch as the prince’s rowdy escapades with his unruly companions collide with the weighty responsibilities of royalty—all while the alcohol flows and the antics ramp up.
From the comedic brawls in the tavern to the epic battles of Shrewsbury, ShakesBEER’s Henry IV, Part I will have you laughing at the chaos, while still offering a glimpse into the serious clash of honor and rebellion. Expect plenty of drunken soliloquies, hilarious blunders, and a cast of characters whose nobility is a little less than regal after a few too many pints.
Join us for a night of tipsy sword fights, royal missteps, and the unforgettable wit of Falstaff, all set against the backdrop of a turbulent England. It’s history… with a whole lot of beer!
Cheers to a night of laughs, libations, and legendary roguery! 🍻
