HENRY BOLINGBROKE

I thought you had been willing to resign.

KING RICHARD II

My crown I am; but still my griefs are mine: You may my glories and my state depose, But not my griefs; still I am king of those.

HENRY BOLINGBROKE

Part of your cares you give me with your crown.

KING RICHARD II

Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down.

William Shakespeare, Richard II, Act 4, Scene 1.

Michael Pennington in the English Shakespeare Company’s War of the Roses cycle. He played Richard II, Prince Hal/Henry V, Suffolk, Jack Cade, and Buckingham, in addition to serving as the ESC’s Artistic Director and, of course, co-founding the company in the first place.

Scans of the programme covers and rehearsal photos are from my theatre programme collection. The rest of the pictured photos are Michael Pennington as Prince Hal/Henry V and not, tragically, owned by me.

The entire cycle can be viewed on YouTube here.

Bonus ragamuffin Prince Hal:
