    ACT I

    Scene 1. King Henry’s plans to lead a crusade to the Holy Land are frustrated when he hears that an

    English army under Edmund Mortimer has been defeated by the Welsh chieftain Owen Glendower.

    Henry reveals that Harry Percy, known as Hotspur, has defeated the Scottish Earl of Douglas in battle.

    Thinking of his son, unruly Hal, the King envies the valiant Hotspur’s father, the Lord

    Northumberland. The King’s council is to convene on the following Wednesday when Hotspur will be

    made to account for his giving the king only one of his hostages.

    Scene 2. Ned Poins tries to persuade Prince Hal and his friend, the debauched knight Sir John Falstaff,

    to take part in a robbery at Gadshill. The Prince refuses but is finally persuaded by Poins who has a

    secret scheme to expose Falstaff for the coward he is. Once alone, Hal muses on his unprincely

    behavior, comparing himself to the sun, who allows himself to be covered by the clouds, only to

    appear more brilliant when he emerges from the “ugly mists.”

    William Shakespeare

    William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
