WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lincoln Center Theater presents Shakespeare's Henry IV, in an adaptation by Dakin Matthews which condenses Henry IV Parts I and II into an evening-length work. Jack O'Brien directs a star-studded cast that includes Richard Easton in the title role, Michael Hayden as Prince Hal, Ethan Hawke as Hotspur (Henry Percy), Dana Ivey in the dual roles of Lady Northumberland and Mistress Quickly, Kevin Kline as Falstaff, and Audra McDonald as Lady Percy.
Matthews' adaptation consolidates the action of the two plays into a single evening, which enables audiences to experience the transformation of the play's central character from Prince Hal to King Henry V.

But now director O'Brien -- like the aggressive Prince Hal at Shrewsbury and then at Agincourt, where he becomes Henry V -- has charged into the theater with ideas about how to fill the deep, proscenium-less playing area.
