The king may have won the battle of Shrewsbury, but civil war still rages across a divided country and the royal family itself is at odds: Henry is ailing and remains uncertain of his son鈥檚 unruly ways; is Harry ready to take up the responsibilities of Kingship when the time comes? Or will Falstaff, that 'villainous abominable misleader of youth', persuade him to the bad once more?

Shakespeare鈥檚 play provides both hilarity and heartbreak as it reflects upon ageing, the legitimacy of leadership and the burden of power.
