Player Kings [Ian McKellen]

Bringing together two of the great Shakespeare history plays, Henry IV parts 1 and 2, Sir Ian McKellen will play John Falstaff, directed by Robert Icke.

A divided country, leadership crumbling, corruption in the air. Welcome to England.
Hal wasn't born to be king. Only now, it seems, he will be. His father longs for him to leave behind his friends in the taverns of Eastcheap, most notably the infamous John Falstaff. War is on the horizon. But will Hal ever come good?
