Historia
The young king of Navarre and three of his courtiers have vowed to lock themselves away for three years of study and fasting, and to forswear the company of women for this period. No sooner is their vow made than it is tested, however, as the princess of France and three of her ladies arrive in Navarre on a diplomatic mission. The young men fall instantly and hopelessly in love, and the tension between their vow and their passion forms the subject of this charming and sparkling early comedy.

Historia
The young and virtuous physician's daughter Helena desperately loves Count Bertram, but he regards her as beneath his notice. When Helena cures the king of France of a mortal illness, he rewards her with Bertram's hand, but before their marriage can be consummated the count flees. To win her husband back again, Helena forms a daring and resourceful plan. A plot to unmask the strutting soldier Parolles makes up another strand in this sometimes disturbing comedy of deception and disguise.

The noble Titus returns victorious to Rome bringing Tamora, Queen of the Goths as his captive. When one of Tamora's sons is condemned to die, she vows revenge, and, aided by the villainous Aaron, she exacts a terrible retribution, inaugurating a grim cycle of rape, murder, and cannibalism. This macabre, often brilliant tragedy comes from the earliest stage of Shakespeare's dramatic career.

In Shakespeare's most controversial play, the opposing values of justice and mercy must be resolved. Antonio promises money to help his friend Bassanio woo Portia. He borrows the sum needed from the cruel Shylock, but there will be a dreadful penalty if the loan is not repaid. The golden world of Portia's Belmont calls forth some of Shakespeare's most lyrical love poetry. But the dark shadow of Shylock is never far from the heart of this brilliant comedy as it moves toward its courtroom climax.

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

This shattering drama of isolation and loss is one of the greatest tragedies in world literature. King Lear of Britain has three daughters: the hard-hearted Goneril and Regan, and the good and gentle Cordelia. He determines to divide his kingdom between them, giving the largest share to she who can say she loves him the best. Lear's tragic lack of judgment and self-knowledge is paralleled by the blindness of the loyal Gloucester who is persuaded to reject his virtuous son, Edgar, in favor of the villainous Edmund.

Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular, and perhaps most puzzling play, follows the form of a "revenge tragedy", in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

Excellent and entertaining
I listened to the Arkangel full cast production of the play while reading the text from the Delphi Complete Works of Shakespeare. This is the second of King Henry and the third of the plays in the group. I found it just as witty as the other plays of Shakespeare and combined with the bawdy songs and capers pulled off with some of the characters like Folstaff a totally delightful play. In this play the Prince of Wales is confronted by his father the dying King and as the crown passes the Prince finally makes the choice to take his new role seriously and cast aside his frivolous youth...and friends. The confrontation that starts the play ends on an odd note...a truce, a peace and a somewhat underhanded maneuver by the Crown, thinking of that saying “all's fair in love and war”, I would suppose this would be a good example. The final speech, an epilogue at the end of the play, seems almost an apology to the patrons that they would not be getting their money's worth.

Another hit
After you've listened to Henry IV Part One, get the other half of the story here. Although Part One can sort of stand on its own, with a great battle scene at the climax, skipping Part Two would deprive you of one of the best plays about aging ever written - and also one of the great father/son scenes of all time.
There's not so much sturm and drang in Part Two. There's another batch of rebels to bring to heel, but they're defeated by a trick, by Hal's brother John - a serious, devious young man who cares about as much for Falstaff as Falstaff does for him - which is to say, not much. (Falstaff's speech about the virtues of sack is a miniature masterpiece.) Meanwhile Falstaff is feeling the effects of age. There's a poignancy about his scenes with the prostitute Doll Tearsheet, or the country bumpkin Justice Shallow, that's unlike anything in the first play. And it leads up to one of the most painful scenes of rejection in all of Shakespeare.
Prince Hal has much to do to convince his father, the dying Henry Bolingbroke, that he's not a wastrel and good-for-nothing. He's playing a long game. When he ascends the throne, he plans to throw off all his old companions and let his true virtue show forth, arousing his subjects to wonder and admiration. In a long and moving scene, he and his father finally come to terms.
The cast of Part One continues here, with Julian and Jamie Glover as Hal 4 and Hal 5; Richard Griffiths as Falstaff; and introducing the energetic Edward de Souza as the crazy Marlowe-quoting Ancient Pistol ("What? Shall we have incision? Shall we imbrue? Then death rock me asleep, abridge my doleful days! Why then let grievous, ghastly, gaping wounds untwind the Sisters Three!").
Is Hal a cynical jerk, or is he making a painful but necessary decision to reform? Some of the scenes in this play really hurt, up close and personal. Falstaff is a bloated scoundrel, but he's also - as Pistol later says of King Henry V himself - "a lad of life, an imp of fame, of parents good, of fist most valiant. I kiss his dirty shoe, and from heart-string I love the lovely bully."

Listen to Part I first.
I was told Part II stands alone, so I listen to it the first time and was frustrated. Then I listened to Part I and afterwards Part II again and appreciated the latter much more. Specifically, Act I made more sense.

Virtue is chok'd with foul ambition
I was recently at a book signing for Don Winslow's new book The Force and he brought up his life-long fascination with Shakespeare and how the Godfather books/movies (at least the first two) are basically a retelling of Shakespeare's Henry IV with the moral poles flipped (with Al Pacino playing Hal and Diane Keaton as a gender-bent Falstaff). I can run with that.
Anyway, Henry IV, Part 2 is fantastic. It is less playful than Henry IV, Part 1 and the comic role of Falstaff drops an octave into tragicomedy. Falstaff still possesses a comedic greatness to him, but he has suddenly seen his relationship with Hal changed at the end as Hal puts away childish things and takes up the mantle (and crown) of his father. One of my favorite of Shakespeare's Histories (right there with Richard III). It is a mature and serious play. Youth's sandbox has been replaced with the battlefield and folly has been replaced with responsibility.
Favorite lines:
“Rumour is a pipe
Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures
And of so easy and so plain a stop
That the blunt monster with uncounted heads,
The still-discordant wavering multitude,
Can play upon it.” (Prologue, Scene 1)
"I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men." (Act I, Scene 2)
"I were better to be eaten to death with a rust, than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion." (Act I, Scene 2)
"A good wit will make use of anything; I will turn diseases to commodity." (Act I, Scene 2)
“By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once; we owe God a death and let it go which way it will he that dies this year is quit for the next” (Act 3, Scene 2)
"Commit
The oldest sins the newest kind of ways." (Act 4, Scene 4)
