Henry IV Part I | Act II Scene IV | 2014 | Royal Shakespeare Company

[@douglaswright2143]

I've seen this production rwice - and I can't fault it! A wonderful balance between naturalism and larger than life performance.

[@zacharybunting3637]

For all the woes and troubles of man, the fact that classic plays are still gave body, and by glad audience life, gives me hope that man may still become his own self and secure the path of Apollo.

[@zacharybunting3637]

Yet, we are but dust blown about by the breathe of Gods. Art is how we shall encompass the lungs of dieties and make them to set us near we wish.

Had the privilege of seeing this live in May, was a wonderful experience. Hoping to get to see part 2 eventually.

[@genki2genki]

Saw it on Shakespeare's birthday! Amazing!

[@idecantwellbarnes6707]

The saddest words - I do. I will.

[@tomservo75]

To this day I often wonder... Was Hal still in the role of his father when he said that?

[@tomservo75]

One of the best Falstaff performances I've seen, even better than Simon Russel Beale in Hollow Crown

[@TheSaltydog07]

Wonderful!! Love this Flalstaff.

[@jeffschecter4543]

Magnificent in every way!

[@s02229]

watched it just now. great job, love it.

[@doreinpaulemmanuel3614]

that guy to Falstaff left looks like He just had a spliff laughing for everything.

[@Superwing]

This was an excellent production. Jennifer Kirby (one of the laughing women on the left) went on to star in Call the Midwife!

[@mickb4255]

Since seeing it only Chimes at Midnight with Orson Welles will do.

[@anndeakin6763]

Translucent was amazing in Theater

[@jamesyamkelaqeqe7747]

What happened to the full video of Henry IV Part Two?

[@JamesTilsley1]

Prince Hal is really good lucking.

[@kxmode]

Why do you not release these recordings on KZbin? These poor players strut and fret their many hours upon a stage. For while their oration may entertain a few And they may expand their craft for a few From here the whole world becomes a stage. For when they expire It is here in this baseless void their performances remain forever.

[@axelcarlsson6795]

Z C, for heaven's sake, why?

[@kxmode]

Poppycock and shenanigans abound!

[@johnrechtoris9796]

Hooray! Thank you for sharing!

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

When you do Shakespeare you can’t do them in one note or one tone it gets boring since his passages are so very long that’s why I think this play was meant to be read not performed. I thought this was done with a little too much realism and not enough respect for the work . A little too much over the top although they are performing for live audience and not for the camera it’s way too big for thr camera .

[@raulmolina9212]

Well if it ain’t the invisible Prince Hal…

[@harshaweeraratne5806]

Can not hear !

[@brograb898]

I always thought of the last several lines of this scene as being more intimate. But showiness is falstaff.

[@benedictmichael2720]

The modern trend is to play Shakespeare's comedies as if they were Carry On films. Another prodigy of this our waning age.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

It isn't a comedy. The scene is comic but this is part of the history cycle mate.

[@benedictmichael2720]

@@ishmaelforester9825 Look up the word 'comedy.' Mate.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

@@benedictmichael2720 it isn't a comedy. This is part of the history cycle. The scene is comedic kind of.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

You said, 'another prodigy of this our waning age.' But such a bold statement has to make sense. It's a fucking history, part of the Henriad cycle. Prattling about Carry On was daft.

[@atalanta9353]

The tragedies and histories have many comic moments that comedies lack. It’s the same with ancient drama.

[@Clemenza10101]

Why is a rowdy group of friends in a bar so silent during this playful scene? So many missed opportunities.

[@LuisRivera-vf9pk]

Orsen Welles's Falstaff is better. It's more realistic.

[@kitkatwest]

This is straight up awful. Totally overplayed. I've never seen this scene be less funny or less interesting.

[@jackcooper3307]

Amazing scene nevertheless 👌🏻

[@bentomoswall]

It seems like that entire audience disagrees with you mate.

[@Clemenza10101]

I honestly couldn't finish it. Everyone is being a "good listener", and the women in the corner are quietly laughing because they feel so awkward. Come on, y'all! PLAY THE SCENE! Totally dead.

[@michaelmayoh656]

What utter rubish are you one of the kind of person who always criticise, the audience disagrees with you!
