The works of William Shakespeare
are most often classified in three genres: tragedies such as
Hamlet, comedies such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and
the history plays such as Henry IV. Shakespeare’s history
plays are based on historical events, real people, and the
political world of their time. Most notable are the eight plays
written about “The War of the Roses," England’s civil war.
Shakespeare in many ways is responsible for the majority
of the notions we possess about this period and its political
leaders because of the ways in which he dramatized the
facts in the retelling of these epic stories.
Dallas Theater Center’s presentation of Henry IV is an adaptation of two of William Shakespeare’s history plays.
Written around 1597 and based on events from 1399, Henry IV, Part 1 was the most popular Shakespearean play of
its time; so popular that a sequel was instantly requested. And as with the Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings series,
these two pieces – Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 – are best understood together. Adapted down to five acts,
Henry IV tells the story of the beginning of England's great civil war. The crown has been seized by Henry IV from
Richard II and the country has entered a phase of civil unrest. Power has been taken and the ideals of trust and
honor are muddled. These two plays – Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 – examine what happens to rulers once
they’ve risen to power by force and the moral complexities of getting and keeping the crown.
