Description

Henry IV: Actor Harry Lennix and UCSB professor Jim Kearney delve into Henry IV’s fraught relationship with his son (the future King Henry V), his anxieties over creating a legitimate rule after forcefully taking the crown, and the prophecy that keeps him believing he’s destined to fight a holy war in Jerusalem. Lennix also discusses his film adaptation, “H4,” which places the text of “Henry IV Part 1” and “Part 2” in the experience of modern black America. // guide to the many Henrys of the Henriad: http://ow.ly/D0gS30b2cw5

Featuring interviews with both actors and academics, Shakespeare’s Shadows delves into a single Shakespeare character in each episode. Perspectives from the worlds of academia, theater, and film together shape explorations of the Bard’s shadows, his imitations of life — pretty good imitations, ones that reveal enough of ourselves that we’re still talking about them four centuries later.
