CAST CALL
King Henry IV (M) – the reigning King of England.
Prince Hal – the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne. As comfortable in the Boarshead Tavern as he is in the court or on the battlefield,
Prince Hal is as fun-loving and mischievous as he is noble and authoritative.
Westmoreland - A loyal nobleman and advisor to King Henry.
Blunt - A loyal noblemen and messenger for King Henry who dresses up as the king during the Battle of Shrewsbury in order to confuse the rebels and protect the king.
Falstaff (M) - Prince Hal’s best friend and a merrily clown who loves drinking and eating and shamelessly avoids work, war, and responsible adulthood.
Bardolph - A friend of Falstaff and regular at Boarshead Tavern.
Peto - A friend of Falstaff.
Poins - A friend of Prince Hal’s whom Falstaff loathes.
Mistress Quickly (F) - The hostess who runs Boarshead Tavern.
Sheriff - the sheriff comes to Boarshead Tavern in search of Falstaff and the stolen loot.
Hotspur - As the son of Northumberland and nephew to Worcester, Hotspur is a rebel and a Percy. He is a hotheaded, bloodthirsty warrior who can’t control his speech or restrain his own rages.
Northumberland (M) - Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland is brother to Worcester and father to Hotspur. Along with Worcester, he helped King Henry depose Richard II in the past and feels he has been subsequently under-rewarded by King Henry.
Worcester - A rebel and a Percy, Thomas Percy, the Earl of Worcester is brother to Northumberland and uncle to Hotspur. He strategizes and sets the treason plot in motion. He also tries to prevent his hotheaded nephew from acting too impetuously.
Mortimer - An English nobleman, the Earl of March. Hotspur tries to convince King Henry to ransom Mortimer when he is captured by Glendower at play’s start, but the king believes that Mortimer is traitorous. Mortimer’s later friendliness with the rebels proves the king was right.
Lady Percy (F) - Hotspur’s neglected wife. Lady Percy and Hotspur are constantly bickering in each other’s presence.
Douglas - A rebel and a Scotsman. Though he fights with Hotspur at the play’s start, they are soon united in their treason plot against King Henry. Like Hotspur, Douglas is an eager, bloodthirsty warrior.
Glendower - A rebel and Welshman who believes in celestial signs and father-in-law to Mortimer.
