About this event

Henry IV, Part 1 by William Shakespeare

November 5 – 15, 2026 in the O’Sullivan Studio Theatre

Directed by Debbie Alley

Bradley returns to the O’Sullivan Studio Theatre for a mainstage production for the first time since 2017 with Henry IV, Part One , a Shakespearean masterpiece about King Henry IV’s struggle with rebellious nobles (particularly Henry “Hotspur” Percy), while his son, Prince Hal, navigates a wild life with the roguish Falstaff, before proving his worth.

This history play, written around 1597, covers the period from late 1402 to mid-1403 and explores themes of honor, rebellion, and father-son relationships, contrasting the king’s disappointment in Hal with his envy of Hotspur’s gallantry. The production will be guest-directed by Debbie Alley, a nationally respected theatre artist and educator.
