Glorious Roger Allam. The great one of our time.

[@spencer1531]

Roger Allam absolutely steals every scene of the Globe's Henriad. Incredible

[@modernape9878]

This was really good. I didn't think about how humorous i could be, but Allam played it to perfection.

[@TheSaltydog07]

This should be titled "Falstaffs Honour." This Falstaff is wonderful.

[@khalilhab]

I saw this performance at the Globe. Hands down the best version of Henry IV I've ever seen. I cannot wait to buy the DVD

[@pvonberg]

The greatest Falstaff I have ever seen.Performance of genius.

[@Nelsonhojax15]

The greatest Falstaff. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but Roger Allam gave a Pitch Perfect Performance. Not quite a buffoon, but very silly, intelligent to fault, but always lovable. A definitve performance imo

[@kennethwayne6857]

Pity there's no documentation of Ralph Richardson's account. That was supposed to have been truly legendary.

[@russellcampbell9198]

My favourite performance of this soliloquy.

[@onyxcat77]

This was the most brilliant version EVER

[@combatrevolved]

That’s bloody Peter Mannion!

[@houssamassila6274]

if they ever do an Orson Welles biopic, Roger Allam should play the part.

[@Concetta20]

He’s up there with Orson Wells’ version.

[@gamers7800]

Not on your life !

[@doreinpaulemmanuel3614]

was this guy the greatest Falstaff ever played?

[@kylewit924]

look up Quayle's falstaff

[@gingerhickerson1313]

Is that even a question

[@dildonius]

No. That was Orson Welles.

[@gb2096]

After Orson maybe

[@chrisstrong3344]

Yes, according to Ian McKellen

[@farrog]

I love Allam - many thanks for download

[@HerMajestyTheLlama]

He's amazing :)

[@lomax343]

The DVD's of this and Part 2 have just been released - and they are superb. Far better than the BBC's recent Hollow Crown productions. I studied these plays (a long time ago) in school, and I hated them. The Globe (and Roger Allam in particular) has made me love them.

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

Excuse the belated reply 😏 The BBC are somewhat restrained by the format of television. Whereas the whole point of the Globe is authenticity to the source and the scene of 16th century theatre.

[@shepardcousland]

Thanks so much! I hope you guys release this on DVD :)

[@bridgiemarie7989]

One of my classes is putting in Henry the IV and I play Falstaff! This really helps me learn how to pronounce my lines properly!

[@jackbuckley7816]

I feel "honored" to have found this!

[@davidbrown4140]

"Live",not filmed,this gentleman portrays "Falstaff"to perfection,word,script,perfect,I had the "honour"to have watched him at the Globe also,better than Rylance,I dare say..(but then,he who bites the hand that feeds him...)

[@charliekane135]

Oh Rog ......... 🥰

[@kageypg]

For me..... Yes!

[@user-ly5rb6zu4c]

2023 anyone?

[@seanosullivan3641]

Mr o donnell hello

[@steelystan5702]

I like Roger, but I think I prefer Simon Russel-Beale's Falstaff. I wish I could see a full unredacted performance from Russel-Beale.

[@michaelexman5474]

richard tarlton esque!!!

[@martynhanson]

No, Orson Welles, Chimes at Midnight

[@jackbuckley7816]

Absolutely!

[@abooswalehmosafeer173]

So much is just scutcheon Yet much trouble me..

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

Then he plays dead and pretends that he killed Hotspur. What a contemptible coward. But we love the fat rogue all the same 😂

[@PointlessNihilist]

I have to say, Allam is far better in this role than Simon Russell Beale.

[@maybebabyny]

Allam is a genius. Parker is a nob.

[@alexi6736]

I saw this at the globe great cast,only let down by Prince Hal,just not believable spoilt it for me
