HENRY IV PART 1:
The Life and Death of Harry Hotspur
Directed by Lukas Brasherfons

“And if we live, we live to tread on kings.”

As the young rebel Hotspur seeks to topple a monarch he believes has an unjust claim to the throne, the aimless Prince Hal carouses with his tavern buddy, the fun-loving and larger-than-life Falstaff. A raucous and exhilarating portrait of a nation in the throes of revolution, Henry IV Part 1: The Life and Death of Harry Hotspur is the story of a king trying to defend his title amidst a country incensed by rebellious fervor.

Come see this thrilling and hilarious crowd-pleaser reimagined into the tumultous world of the late 1960s. 

The Crane Theater is located at 2303 Kennedy St NE UNIT 120, Minneapolis, MN 55413
