We tackle the massive Act IV of Henry IV, Part II. Among many thing we talk about the opacity of specific grievances from the rebellion, the super degraded and violent imagery that the Archbishop employs, how important beverages are and the virtues of drinking, how the King seems to be constantly pulled between his two opposing interpretations of Hal, care having a very negative and corrosive connotation in the play, and the conflict and conflation of family and power. Our ensemble for Henry IV, Part II includes Samantha Blinn, Rhoda Bodzin, Amber Devlin, Eric Devlin, Ellyn Heald, Marty Madden, Mike Marcou, Liam Mitchell, Danielle Reddick, Noah Segard, facilitated and directed by Ariana Karp. *Also as a side note: Humfrey is indeed the Duke Humfrey of the famous Oxford library!
