Henry IV Part I is not just wars or Elizabethan society or how wisdom can come from as unlikely a place as a tavern named the Boar's Head or from the mouth of as unlikely a character as the greedy, lusty, lazy, altogether charming Falstaff. It is basically how a prince becomes a king or, even more basically, how a boy grows up. By the time Shakespeare's play opens at the Loeb December 11, the skill of director George Hamlin will probably have worked to weld all the wicked plots and counterplots of the smaller schemes of things...
