Fenix Theatre Company invites you to experience its 18th annual summer tradition of free Shakespeare in Deering Oaks Park with a rollicking production of Shakespeare's HENRY IV, PART ONE. In typical Fenix style, this production features live music played on multiple instruments, with hits ranging from the 1960s-2010s.

A restless prince forges his own path between his father’s call to honor and the larger-than-life shenanigans of Shakespeare’s greatest comic creation, Sir John Falstaff. From the tavern to the battlefield, Henry IV, Part One blends uproarious comedy with the thrill of sword fights in a story of fathers, sons, and the making of a king. 

Featuring: Keating Babcock, Casper Barnard, Josh Brassard, Genevieve Breitbach, Drew Copeland, Sam Finn Cutler, Mary Fraser, Michael Howard, Rachel Morris, Kevin O’Leary, and Owen Philip Arthur.
