Corona Cold Reads: Henry IV Part 1 (Anniversary Edition)

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, to deal with isolation and lack of live theatre, we started gathering some of our favourite people every Tuesday & Saturday night to read scripts over Zoom. We read all 38 Shakespeare plays in six months. Then we kept going. We decided to create mini-seasons featuring highlights from the canons of major writers across generations, plus a few bonus episodes thrown in.   All of our readings are available to enjoy as full videos on our YouTube page but we’re also releasing them in audio form so they can be accessed through your favourite podcast app.   For our fourth anniversary, the troupe reunited for a marathon reading of Shakespeare’s two-part history play Henry IV. Here’s part one of that reading.   The Cast of Henry IV (2024 Version) Part 1 King Henry IV- Christopher Prentice Prince Henry- Torey Urquhart Falstaff- Steve Fisher Mistress Quickly (“Hostess”)/ 1st Carrier/Carrier- Miriam B Gadshill/”Thieves”/Francis/Servant- David Nelson Bardolph/Westmoreland/ Messengers- Weldon Goree Chamberlain/Vintner/Glendower- Rebbekah Vega-Romero Sir Walter Blunt/1st Traveller/ Lancaster- Hilary Wartinger Northumberland/Sir Michael- Elizabeth Morriss Earl of Worcester- Marlo K Shaw Hotspur- Gaby Grice Poins- Mark Kreder Mortimer/Peto/Earl of Douglas/Second Carrier- Nicole Love Archbishop of York/Sheriff/ Vernon- Talley Gale Ostler/Lady Percy- Laura Hubbard     CLICK HERE to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes so you don’t miss an episode.    The post Corona Cold Reads: <em>Henry IV Part 1</em> (Anniversary Edition) appeared first on My Entertainment World.
