<p>This boxed set of compact discs includes four history plays: "Richard II, Henry IV Part I, Henry IV, Part II" and "Henry V". Covering a formative quarter century of English history, these plays are as rich and encompassing as life itself and contain some of Shakespeare's greatest roles, among them Falstaff and Prince Hal. From the tragic deaths of kings to the uproarious antics of drunken ne'er-do-wells, these works place the subtlest political insights with some of the funniest moments on the English stage. Unabridged.</p>
