His father killed a king and usurped a kingdom, but the prodigal Prince Hal spends his days consorting with commoners and playing pranks with his philandering old knight, Sir John Falstaff, rather than studying statecraft and preparing to be the next King of England. A civil war is threatened when Hotspur and his father, the Earl of Northumberland, claim their right to the throne, forcing Hal and Falstaff from the tavern to the battlefield. In this struggle for the divine right to wear the crown, Shakespeare\u2019s epic family drama challenges what makes a good son, a good friend, and a good leader.<\/p>\n When: through Sunday, March 15<\/p>\n Where: Quintessence Theatre Group, 7137 Germantown Ave.<\/p>\n Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest<\/p>\n
