Pack your snacks, blankets and lawn chairs and head to Wright Park for a free outdoor production of Shakespeare's “Henry IV, part 2.”
Get ready for another summer full of family fun and FREE theater in the great outdoors in Seattle-area parks. GreenStage celebrates its 31st season with Shakespeare in the Park plays Henry IV, part 2 and The Taming of the Shrew, and Backyard Bard shows The Merry Wives of Windsor and Measure For Measure. The season runs July 12–August 17, 2019.
About Henry IV, part 2:
We pick up where we left off with Henry IV, part 1 last summer, in which the king turns back the rebels at Shrewsbury and Prince Hal defeats Hotspur in battle. Despite this, challenges to the king continue, and Hal’s on-going revelry with Falstaff and the other lowlifes at Eastcheap gives Henry IV serious doubts about his son’s fitness for the crown.
Part 2 is the third play in Shakespeare’s eight-play, double-tetralogy of history plays chronicling the reigns of Richard II, Henrys IV, V and VI, and culminating with Richard III.
