Play of the Week: Henry IV - Part 1 Sat 13th Feb 1999, 22:30 on BBC World Service By William Shakespeare Adapted and directed by Gordon House. Family relationships are at the center of Henry IV, Part 1. King Henry IV and Prince Hal form one major father-son pair, with Henry in despair because Hal lives a dissolute life. The father-son pair of Hotspur (Lord Henry Percy) and his father, the Earl of Northumberland, is in seeming contrast; the king envies Northumberland “his Harry,” wishing he could claim the gallant Hotspur as his own. Meanwhile, Hal has entered into a quasi-father-son relationship with a disreputable but amusing knight, Sir John Falstaff. Cast Julian Glover.... King Henry IV Jamie Glover.... Prince Henry (Hal) Timothy West... Sir John Falstaff Jonathan Keeble.... Henry Percy (Hotspur)
