King Henry IV

This is one of the earliest plays of Shakespeare. Despite the fact that sometimes too many things, sub-plots if you will, are taking the action forward, I enjoyed the exchanges between characters; like that of Talbot and his son and even as Joan is first introduced to the stage.
The character of Joan, however, seems problematic and calls for a re-look at Shakespeare's sources.
Early writing. Historical play. This is the first of a trilogy; so perhaps it is better to view this play in light of the rest in the trilogy. To do that I say, “On to the next!”
