Shakespeare's history play will run from November 6-December 6.

Walter leads the cast as King Henry, alongside Jade Anouka as Hotspur, Clare Dunne as Prince Hal, Jenny Jules as Worcester, Susan Wokoma as Poins and the Earl of Douglas, Jackie Clune as Westmorland and Glendower, Shiloh Coke as Mortimer, Karen Dunbar as Vernon and Bardolph, Zainab Hasan as Hostess, Sharon Rooney as Lady Percy and Gadshill, Sophie Stanton as Falstaff, and Carolina Valdés as Northumberland.

Henry IV is designed by Bunny Christie with Ellen Nabarro (set), Deborah Andrews (costumes),

direction is by Kate Waters.
