We’re nearly halfway through the series and I’m dreading to think what I’m going to do when we’re done with Shakespeare and I won’t have @TSMGOnlineLive’s productions to make my GIF summaries of, but for now you can catch Henry IV Part I in full here:
King Henry IV is almost ready to leave for the Holy Land when he gets some worrying news. @AndyMcleod09 @ShamisoMushambi @rnwillans @CallumLloydT
Meanwhile, Prince Hal’s lifestyle and choice of friends raise a lot of questions… @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin
His closest friend is Sir John Falstaff. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin
However, Hal says he’ll change soon. @seb_wyc
Meet Henry Percy. @AndyMcleod09 @CallumLloydT
Hotspur won’t give up his prisoners to the king.
Gadshill is gathering intelligence about wealthy travellers. @_sashawilson @philippa_uk @CallumLloydT
Poins has taken Falstaff’s horse and Sir John’s not very happy about it. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson
Gadshill’s information didn’t go to waste but *someone* attacked Falstaff and his friends after they’d robbed those wealthy travelers. Who could that be? @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson
Meanwhile, Henry Percy is getting ready to execute his plan and start a rebellion against the king.
His wife, however, isn’t happy about it. @natalieannboyd
Prince Hal is back to his natural (for now) habitat in Eastcheap. @seb_wyc @TheRealMrHess
Falstaff is telling his friends how he was robbed and he’s not exaggerating, not at all – why would he? @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson
Not. At. All. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson
Hal, however, knows the truth and doesn’t mind telling it to everyone’s amusement. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson
“This chair shall be my state, this dagger my sceptre, and this cushion my crown.” @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson @philippa_uk
“There is a virtuous man whom I have often noted in thy company” – who could Falstaff be talking about? @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson @philippa_uk
Any guesses? @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson @philippa_uk
It’s now Hal’s turn to pretend to be his father. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin @JasonBlackwater @dancordova @TheRealMrHess @_sashawilson @henryjenkinson @philippa_uk
“Item, A capon,. . 2s. 2d.
Item, Sauce,. . . 4d.
Item, Sack, two gallons, 5s. 8d.
Item, Anchovies and sack after supper, 2s. 6d.
Item, Bread, ob.”

Bangor. @NailaMansouroff @leoatkin
King Henry isn’t pleased with his son. @AndyMcleod09 @seb_wyc
“Do I not dwindle?” Erm… @JonJackBaldwin @dancordova
Falstaff says his pockets were picked and money and grandfather’s ring were stolen – but is it so? @JonJackBaldwin @seb_wyc @JasonBlackwater @philippa_uk @dancordova
Everybody has to go into battle because “Percy stands on high”. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin
Falstaff knows his soldiers aren’t really that good. @JonJackBaldwin
The rebels are waiting for the king’s army and they’re ready to fight. @juliemartis @CallumLloydT
Archbishop is worried that rebels’ forces may be too weak to stand a chance in battle. @henryjenkinson @JasonBlackwater
Falstaff would be happy to avoid the whole fighting thing, obviously. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin
“'Tis not due yet” @JonJackBaldwin
The rebels are ready. @juliemartis
Earl of Douglas fight and eventually kills king Henry – or so he thinks. @juliemartis @CallumLloydT
Falstaff is Falstaff even in the middle of the battle. @seb_wyc @JonJackBaldwin
Still doesn’t want to die. @JonJackBaldwin
Hotspur and Hal meet on the battlefield. @seb_wyc
Hotspur’s dead. @seb_wyc
Falstaff finds Hotspur’s body and decides to claim that he killed him. Well, of course. @JonJackBaldwin
That’s it for Henry IV Part I, looking forward to Part II in two weeks and getting ready for the mayhem of The Merry Wives of Windsor next Wednesday!
