Father and son Julian and Jamie Glover star as King Henry and his son Hal in the powerful production which also stars Timothy West and Prunella Scales. BBC Radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard. In the acclaimed BBC Radio Shakespeare series, each play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre. Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.

      The emotional core of HENRY IV, Part One is the contrast between men: between King Henry (Julian Glover), his son, Prince Hal (Jamie Glover), and the lovely fat villain, Falstaff (Richard Griffiths). All of these men dramatize their parts masterfully. There is always more to them later in a scene than earlier, and as they interact with one another, different facets of their character are revealed through shifts in delivery that match the imagery in Shakespeare's verse. Even in the heat of battle or the middle of a saloon, with swords clashing or tankards clanking to set the scene, all the voices come through clearly. G.T.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
