Rebellion and maturity run through Shakespeare's histories like a single twisted thread, exemplified by the tearaway-turned-hero Hal and his forever adolescent associate Falstaff, who deserves and gets a comedy to himself in The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Lives real and imagined, nobles and beggars, Tudor history and culture all spring to vivid life on the stage of the Globe Theatre in award-winning productions featuring many fine British actors and original music played by an 'authentic' Shakespearean pit band.

This collection embraces some of the playwright's most "regal rogues and some of his most roguish kings".

The staging's of Henry VIII and Henry IV parts 1 and 2, all made their premieres at the Globe Theatre in this 2010 season.
