概要
 Step into the world of Shakespeare’s iconic second Henriad as we witness the thrilling journey of King Henry V, a leader whose evolution from the carefree prince of Henry IV to a determined monarch is nothing short of remarkable. Persuaded by the English clergy of his ancestral claim to the French throne, Henry faces the haughty Dauphins mockery, symbolized by a gift of tennis balls. In response, he boldly commands the invasion of France, igniting a fierce and costly conflict that becomes the backdrop for one of Shakespeare’s most patriotic narratives. Through Henry, we explore the themes of national pride, courage, and determination, all expressed in breathtaking poetic speeches that have solidified his legendary status. Yet, beneath the surface lies Shakespeare’s subtle critique of power, as we see glimpses of Henry’s manipulative tactics and hear from the soldiers who serve under him. The return of beloved characters like Bardolph and Pistol offers much-needed comic relief amidst the grim realities of war, while new faces challenge the glorified vision of conquest. With a talented cast of three men (Craig Franklin, Tomas Peter, and Brad “Hamlet” Filippone) and four women (Sonia, Jenn Broda, Kelly S. Taylor, and Sandra Schmit), this performance promises to leave a lasting impression. Think you know Shakespeare? Prepare to be surprised!

    2026/11/07
    Second Part of King Henry IV (version 2) by William Shakespeare.

    This sequel and third entry of the Henriad immediately follows the events of Henry IV, Part 1 and the aftermath of the Battle of Shrewsbury, which saw the Percys’ rebellion against the King quashed and its leader, Hotspur, killed in combat with the Prince of Wales. Upon hearing of Hotspur’s death, his father, the Earl of Northumberland, vows to avenge him, and unites with the Archbishop of York and other discontented nobles to continue the civil unrest. Meanwhile, the boastful knight Falstaff—having emerged from Shrewsbury with greater wealth and repute—resumes his drunken misadventures in Eastcheap with a new page and swaggering ensign in tow, attracting the attentions of the coarse Doll Tearsheet and the ire of the impatient Mistress Quickly.
