Falstaff in Rebellion; or The Mutineers of Eastcheap
John W. Postgate
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Falstaff gets involved in quelling a rebellion and gains Hal's disfavor for doing the job so poorly and pocketing most of the funds. This is not that story. But instead, this rebellion is a good time with Falstaff, his cronies, Shakespeare (yes), and a number of Shakespeare's other characters in a comic romp.... (NOTE: there are a few racist comments reflecting the time when the play was written.)
