Description

Montford Park Players, an Asheville theatrical tradition, is proud to announce their upcoming production of Henry IV, Part 1. All performances will be held at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre at 92 Gay Street in the heart of Asheville’s historic Montford District, from May 3 through May 25 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm. This performance like ALL of Montford Park Players’ shows will be absolutely FREE to attend.

This is one of Shakespeare’s most entertaining and witty works. In telling the story of the future King Henry V(Prince Hal), Shakespeare creates three worlds- the Tavern, filled with witty banter and bawdy antics; a Court plagued with intrigue, led by a King stained with the death of his predecessor; and a Rebellion led by the passionate, but flawed hero, a “Mars in swaddling clothes.”

In this he creates wildly popular characters: Hotspur, the impetuous young lord whose valor and dedication to the pursuit of Honor vies for the audience’s vote for ‘who should be Prince of Wales”! And he stumbles onto one of his greatest characters, the amoral, voluptuary (and incredibly funny) Falstaff who is often said, along with Hamlet, to be one of two "modern" characters created by the Bard.

Montford Park Players has been presenting Shakespeare and other classical works to the Asheville community since 1973, and has since grown to be one of Western North Carolina’s most beloved and well-known cultural attractions.
