Also, a review from This is Bristol:

"Under Peter Hall's direction this is a play worthy of its title. Too often Henry IV is reduced to a bit part player with the spotlight falling on his son Prince Hal and his reprobate friend Sir John Falstaff. Comedy is too often allowed to blank out drama.

Not so here in a production which is historical rather than hysterical. David Yelland's king is deep-throated and stern belying his waning confidence, knowing greatness is behind him and distraught his Prince of Wales prefers ale to arms.

Desmond Barrit as the lardy, lying Falstaff and Tom Mison as the prince still have their amusing moments, and play them fully.

In a cast strong in number, high in quality and commendable for clear speaking, there are some standout supporting performances. Ben Mansfield, Beckham-esque in looks, is a vigorous, dashing Hotspur, Philip Voss a scheming Worcester, Robert East a Welsher than Welsh Glendower and Lizzy McInnerny a colourful Mistress Quickly.

Simon Higlett's imposing, stony set, the fights, crisply choreographed by Kate Waters and the time-warped military uniforms designed by Christopher Woods all add to the ambience."
