Credits for 1 Henry IV

In Henry IV, Part One we watch Prince Hal grow up. The icon symbolizes Hal's coming of age in this play by setting a graduation cap against a background alternating between the plain color of duty and the festival stripes of fun. Hal is called upon to change as his father, Henry IV, faces the consequences of getting the throne not by succession, but by deposing the former occupant. Is this the kind of family business Hal wants to go into? What will success mean to him? And in the struggle for the throne, will the best man succeed Henry IV? (Note: Be sure to use the Kings button in the header to see the portraits and order of English rulers during this period.)
