Moultonborough, NH – Continuing their successful partnership, Advice to the Players of Sandwich and Castle in the Clouds are back at it! To help kick off the season, Advice to the Players is bringing a raucous performance of Henry IV to the Carriage House for one night only – Thursday May 29, 2025. This abridged version of two Shakespeare plays (Henry IV parts 1 and 2) will serve as a fun introduction to Falstaff, who audience members will see again in this summer’s production of “Merry Wives of Windsor,” which will be performed in Sandwich and at Castle in the Clouds.
Henry IV follows England’s royal family, supporters, and enemies at the start of the War of the Roses. Now that Henry is on the throne, he must fight to keep it, but those that helped place him there regret this past alliance and are teaming up with Henry’s enemies to set things right. Henry’s son, Hal, seems disinterested and spends all his free time at the tavern with near-do-wells like Falstaff, but will he come to his father’s aid in time? Any history or Shakespeare buff will know what comes next, but that won’t make this story any less enjoyable!
This performance will take place on the outdoor terrace where audience members can indulge in traditional American far and drinks. The restaurant will open for seating at 5:15pm and the show will start at 5:30pm. Seating is limited, so be sure to register in advance to secure your spot. Walk-ins will be accepted only if seats are available.
