Henry IV, Part 2

by William Shakespeare from c. 1598

About

The ageing King Henry IV remains at war with rebels while his son Prince Hal continues his tavern life with Falstaff, though increasingly conscious of the crown he must inherit. When the king finally dies, Hal becomes Henry V and shockingly rejects Falstaff—a moment of cold political maturity that closes his youth forever.
