Join Sweet Tea Shakespeare at the Leggett Theater on William Peace University campus in downtown Raleigh for the One-Weekend-Only run of Henry the Fourth, Part 2, the third installment of Shakespeare’s Henriad, chronicling the ascension of King Henry V of England.
Before he would go on to become a hero of the 100 Years War and eventually secure full control of both the French and English thrones, Henry V was Harry, Prince of Wales; erstwhile heir to the crown of England. Will he have what it takes to continue the reign of the House of Lancaster, so painfully and brutally won from Richard II by his father Henry Bolingbroke, or will he succumb to the influence of his oldest and dearest friend, his “sweet creature of Bombast”, Sir John Falstaff?
