“We band of brothers…”

« back to classes page
Shakespeare's first historical tetralogy, the Henriad, consists of four history plays: Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V, and includes some of the Bard’s most memorable speeches (“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…”) and most memorable characters (Prince Hal, Hotspur and the incomparable Falstaff). Over fourteen weeks we’ll read and discuss all four plays and, after each, watch and discuss the relevant episode of The Hollow Crown, a 2013 British TV miniseries based on the Henriad, starring such luminaries as Ben Whishaw, Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and Simon Russell Beale (as Falstaff.)  Prepare thee for a bumpy ride!
