THE HISTORY OF KING HENRY THE FOURTH
The students of the Briarcliff High School theater department present a punk rock version of Shakespeare's epic classic Henry IV to stage this fall from Nov 18th-20th in the school's auditorium.
Briarcliff's version of HENRY IV, originally written by William Shakespeare, has been updated with an irreverent punk rock vibe. Contemporary dialogue mashed up with Shakespearian text help the students bring this tale of rebellion, power, honor, and family to thrilling life.
The shameless Sir John Falstaff, the black sheep Prince Hal, and the rebellious Hotspur navigate the shifting sands of allegiance in King Henry IV's England. With his crown under threat, the King prepares for war. But the Prince parties in taverns with thieves and punks. Honor is at stake for both commoners and kings, as rebellion and duty collide in Shakespeare's richly layered coming-of-age tale.
The performances will take place at the following times:
Friday November 18 at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday November 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday November 20 at 2:30 p.m.
