This is part one of Shakespeare's Henry V series. Prince Hal, the future Henry V, is a disappointment to his father. He spends all his time with dissolute people, such as his friend Falstaff, and does not take his princely duties seriously. Little does Henry IV know, Hal has a plan. He feels that if he acts like a superflous person, that once he becomes King he will take the responsibility and shock all his rivals by his determination. Maybe Hal pushes it too long? Maye his idea was a good one? Due to a conspiracy against his father, Hal is challenged to make that 180 prematurely.
