CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT
"A Distinguished Company Breathes Life Into Shakespeare’s Lusty Age of FALSTAFF"
Directed by Orson Welles
Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff.
