Shakespeare wrote no play more entertaining than Henry IV, Part 1. Its dynamic blend of broad comedy and fateful action, historical and familial strife, political intrigue and battlefield heroics give it an unmatched generosity of feeling and drama, evoking both the happy freedom of amiable indiscretions and the empowering gravity of large responsibilities. Several characters—Henry, Hal, Hotspur, and assorted supporting players both solemn and droll—light up the drama with vehement conflicts and playful pastimes, but Falstaff exudes an ineffable charm that outshines them all.
