La censora de cine Enid se enorgullece de su meticuloso trabajo, protegiendo a las audiencias desprevenidas de los efectos nocivos de ver las decapitaciones llenas de sangre y las cicatrices en los ojos que examina. Su sentido del deber de proteger se ve amplificado por la culpa por su incapacidad para recordar los detalles de la desaparición de su hermana hace mucho tiempo, recientemente declarada muerta en ausencia. Cuando se le asigna a Enid la revisión de una película inquietante del archivo que se hace eco de sus nebulosos recuerdos de la infancia, comienza a desentrañar cómo este misterioso trabajo podría estar vinculado a su pasado.
Based on William Boyd's short story collection, The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth follows 22-year-old Bethany as she flits from one possible career to another looking for answers to life's most important questions.
Hotspur is dead and Prince Hal has proved his mettle on the battlefield, but King Henry IV lies dying and the rebels show no sign of surrendering. Even Sir John Falstaff is forced out of the taverns to raise a militia, but will his attachment to Hal be rewarded with promotion and the life of ease he feels sure he deserves? Henry IV Part 2 includes some of the greatest moments in Shakespeare: the deathbed scene of the old King, when Hal contemplates the crown; and Hal's devastating rejection of Falstaff himself. Roger Allam ('a Falstaff to treasure' - The Times) won the 2011 Best Actor Olivier Award for his performance in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. 'Jamie Parker (Prince Hal) is 'terrific to watch' (London Evening Standard); he appeared in As You Like It at the Globe in 2009, and was also in The History Boys at the National Theatre, on Broadway and on film.
Prince Hal, son of King Henry IV, seems to be squandering his life away with the fat knight Sir John Falstaff and the whores, boozers and petty rogues of Eastcheap. But beside these scenes of glorious misrule gathers a nationwide rebellion led by the Duke of Northumberland and his charismatic son, Hotspur. The first installment of Shakespeare's gripping account of the rise of Hal from idle barfly to monarch-in-waiting combines compelling power politics with the hilarious antics of Falstaff, Shakespeare's greatest comic creation.
