Henry IV - Episode 3
from Shakespeare's Shadows Hosted by Emily Rome
Henry IV: Actor Harry Lennix and UCSB professor Jim Kearney delve into Henry IV’s fraught relationship with his son (the future King Henry V), his anxieties over creating a legitimate rule after forcefully taking the crown, and the prophecy that keeps him believing he’s destined to fight a holy war in Jerusalem. Lennix also discusses his film adaptation, “H4,” which places the text of “Henry IV Part 1” and “Part 2” in the experience of modern black America. // guide to the many Henrys of the Henriad: http://ow.ly/D0gS30b2cw5
