Sir Ian McKellen will star as Falstaff in a new version of William Shakespeare’s Henry IV at the Noel Coward Theatre, adapted by the award-winning director and writer Robert Icke.
Welcome to England. A country divided. Crumbling leadership. Corruption is in the air.
Although Hal wasn't born to be king, now, it seems that he will be. War is on the horizon, and his father wishes for him to leave his friends behind in the seedy taverns of Eastcheap, most notably the infamous John Falstaff. Will Hal ever come good?
Shakespeare's two great history plays (Henry IV, parts 1 and 2) are now brought together in Player Kings, a new production that will reign over London’s West End for a limited twelve-week season only at the Noël Coward Theatre from April 2024.
