HENRY IV, Part 2

KING HENRY IV is "sore sick," dying in fact, and distraught over the threats to his throne by the Earl of Northumberland and the Archbishop of York, and the worthless antics of his successor, his son Prince Hal, who has joined the dissolute Falstaff's robbery ring. But on his deathbed King Henry forgives Hal, and prays his crown will pass to Hal "with thee in true peace live." A magnificent production, with John Glover as King Henry IV and Jamie Glover as Prince Hal, also offers an outstanding supporting cast, musical interludes, and sound effects. A collector's item for any audiobook library. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
