Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 will be the Porter's 33rd and 34th productions in their journey towards finishing Shakespeare’s canon.
Director Margaret Starbuck on diving into the process - “I’m thrilled to get to direct these two epic plays for the Porters. I love the way the Henry IVs dynamically intercut uproarious comedic scenes with Scandal-esque court intrigue and intense battle scenes. Their exploration of how power is gained, maintained, enforced and sacrificed for is a topic that is ripe for discussion in this election year.”
