Shakespeare Live: The Prince & The Knave
2024-10-26 20:00 - 22:00 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
In extracts from Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Shakespeare Live’s team of actors take multiple roles to tell the story of the tortuous relationship between Prince Hal, the future Henry V, and the dissolute knight Sir John Falstaff. Shakespeare mingles comedy, drama and pathos in the tale of the young prince coming of age and finding his destiny, while the boastful, blustering Falstaff follows haplessly in his wake. The scene moves from the seedy streets and taverns of London, across highways and battlefields, to reach the final denouement at the court of the newly-crowned King Henry V.
This long-established and well-regarded Shakespeare theatre company produces annual productions in the grounds of Cleeve House, Seend, Wiltshire, SN12 6PG.
Shakespeare Live has been running for over 30 years and is a group of talented and skilled actors and technicians who give their time and energy for free. The organisation is a registered charity.
