It illumineth the face, which, as a beacon, gives warning to all the rest of this little kingdom, man, to arm and then the vital commoners and inland petty spirits muster me all to their captain, the heart, who, great and puff'd up with this retinue, doth any deed of courage-and this valour comes of sherris. The second property of your excellent sherris is the warming of the blood which before, cold and settled, left the liver white and pale, which is the badge of pusillanimity and cowardice but the sherris warms it, and makes it course from the inwards to the parts extremes.

It ascends me into the brain dries me there all the foolish and dull and crudy vapours which environ it makes it apprehensive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble, fiery, and delectable shapes which delivered o'er to the voice, the tongue, which is the birth, becomes excellent wit. A good sherris-sack hath a two-fold operation in it. They are generally fools and cowards-which some of us should be too, but for inflammation. There's never none of these demure boys come to any proof for thin drink doth so over-cool their blood, and making many fish-meals, that they fall into a kind of male green-sickness and then, when they marry, they get wenches. Hotspur, the English rebel attempting to dethrone King Henry IV.“Falstaff: Good faith, this same young sober-blooded boy doth not love me nor a man cannot make him laugh-but that's no marvel he drinks no wine. Hal and Falstaff on the Henry IV promotional poster Prince Hal enters the battlefield From Part Two, Falstaff, the wild character of Pistol, and Mistress Quickly. While I did like Part one in particular, Part 2 did serve as a beautiful counterpart to the first show!. Overall, the shows were some of the best Shakespeare I’ve seen, and by far my favorite history. I’ve attached a few promotional shots so that you all can get a feel for what I’m saying! The stage was constructed primarily of rafters and this combined with the haze used created the illusion of morning sun coming through the windows, or added nobility to Hal’s entrance on the battlefield. The lighting in the show was absolutely spectacular, especially during the battle scene (which I described to my friends back home as being like Shakespearean Game of Thrones). It was hard not to watch the two of them act together and not smile and laugh along with them. Falstaff seemed to fill the space of Hal’s true father (King Henry IV) who Hal seemed to be totally afraid of. After seeing the RSC interpretation however, we saw a totally different side. In our discussion prior to the show, we discussed the possibility of Hal and Falstaff’s frienship being primarily motivated by self interest. Hal and Falstaff had a chemistry that was incredibly hilarious, truthful, and eventually heartbreaking. Now as an actor myself, there is nothing better to me than a strong relationship between two actors on stage. Of the performances Henry IV Part 1 was definitely my favorite, for two reasons the relationship between Prince Hal and Falstaff, and the absolutely gorgeous way the set was lit. It breathed life into the characters that I had never imagined while reading the script. So I was majorly surprised by how much I loved the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Henry IV parts 1 and 2. Now, as someone who has read a decent amount a Shakespeare, both in the past and in the past semester, I knew that Shakespeare’s histories were not my favorite plays to read.
