ENGLAND is on the brink of civil war as the rebels, led by the Earls of Worcester and Northumberland and his son, the valiant Hotspur, plot their uprising.
Meanwhile, the King’s son, Prince Henry (Hal), is living a life of debauchery with Sir John Falstaff and his cronies in Mistress Quickly’s tavern and other bawdy dens in Eastcheap. Can Hal rouse himself to take on Hotspur and save his father’s throne?
