Henry has seized the throne from the weak and inept King Richard II, but to his dismay, his own son, Prince Hal, is more interested in drinking and carousing than he is in learning the duties of kingship. Henry IV, Part One is one of Shakespeare's warmest and most performed History plays, and introduces the figure of Falstaff, possibly the single most popular character in English theatre. The Signet Classics edition of the play combines scholarship with readability, and is perfect both for scholars and for readers approaching Shakespeare for the first time.
