"A revolutionary kind of revolution."

Poor Hal. Her mom, the Queen of England, wants her to step up and fight in an impending civil war, while her buddy Falstaff wants her to stay at the bar and keep the party going. What is a young princess to do? Equal parts comedy and tragedy, Henri IV pt. 1 is a gender-bent adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous coming-of-age story about a young woman not only trying to figure out her place in the world, but also what sort of world she wants it to be.

Content: staged violence and death, simulated sexual acts, drug and alcohol consumption, body shaming, and loud noises.
