Henry IV, Part 2

From executive producer Sam Mendes ("Skyfall," "American Beauty") comes a stunning adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated history plays: "Henry IV, Part 2." In the aftermath of the Battle of Shrewsbury, Northumberland learns of the death of his son. The Lord Chief Justice attempts on behalf of the increasingly frail King to separate Falstaff from Prince Hal. The rebels continue to plot insurrection. Falstaff is sent to recruit soldiers and takes his leave of his mistress, Doll Tearsheet. The rebel forces are overcome. This brings comfort to the dying king, who is finally reconciled to his son. Falstaff rushes to Hal's coronation with expectations of high office.
