Falstaff (Sir Anthony Quayle) is banished, his train rejected by the new king.

Act V, scene 3, line 100 to end. And scene 5 in it's entirety. (Arden edition)

Robert Eddison ... Justice Robert Shallow
Ralph Michael ... Lord Chief Justice
Bryan Pringle ... Pistol
David Gwillim ... Prince Hal
Rob Edwards ... Prince John of Lancaster


William Shakespeare's "The second Part of King Henry the Fourth"


Falstaff: "Do not thou, when thou art king, hang a thief,"
Hal: "No, Thou shalt."

Cicero "De Officiis":

The third of the three elements that constitute political charisma was this: that men judge us worthy of holding public offices and grant us their affection at the same time. The general rule is that people admire everything they notice that is impressive or beyond their expectations. But when they become aware that certain individuals possess good qualities whose existence they did not suspect, then they feel a particular affection.

  • Hal, of course, is determined not to make the same mistakes as those of his father, or of Richard. If only Tony Blair had been a lover of drama...

  • ‎"Si fortuna me tormente, sperato me contento"

  • The banishment scene is one of the saddest scenes in Shakespeare. Brings me to tears to see a man, however debased, brought to reality in such a humiliating and final way. Such power in that performance with such little "acting." Masterful.

  • Thank you for uploading these performances. They are a joy to watch. I am humbled by these great performances, and all I can do is watch in awe. My tiny recitations pale in the light of your choices.

  • The inimitable (& late) Gordon Gostelow at his convincingly raddled best as the rubicund and scrofulus Bardolph!

  • Yeah, Falstaff totally had it coming. I still can't help but feel sorry for him, though.

  • My favorite scene, Falstaff had it coming :).

  • This is a fantastic series, and this is the best scene in this play. I'll bet Hal was played even colder in Shakespeare's day. The damned hat sure is a distraction, though. Who is handing it back? and WHY?
