Reading Group: Henry IV Part One

Note: This class is being offered in-person only

Facilitated by Julia R. Lupton, Ph.D.

Please join Professor Julia Lupton and Fulbright Scholar Andrew Hiscock (Bangor University, Wales) for a five-part series reading Henry IV, Part One. Party with Falstaff, Hal, and Mistress Quickly at the Boars Head Tavern, journey to the battle of Shrewsbury, and explore the Welsh characters of the play with guest scholars from Wales. You can meet Falstaff again this summer at the New Swan, when we produce our original adaptation, The Merry Wives of Windsor Cove!
