- Notes:
As we studied Richard II in 2020, we will continue with the series, studying next: Henry IVth Part 1. It is, of course, a history play and has plenty of humour because Shakespeare introduces Falstaff into the story.We will begin by showing the play on DVD using a fairly conventional version. Then we will read the play right through, discussing the themes, characters etc as we go, finishing up with another DVD of a more experimental production. We take turns at reading the different parts, but nobody is obliged to read. You will need your own copy, preferably with notes; we have found that it is much easier to use a book version than an electronic one, as we do turn backwards and forwards quite a bit.
Useful notes are in a number of editions.
The Arden or New Arden editions are good but there are others; please phone for help if needed.
Please phone Alison or Lindsay before the first meeting to check on Covid regulations.
