Subject:    Invitation to Bryn Mawr College SPT HENRY IV Directed by Rebecca Cook

I would like to invite anyone who would be in the west Philadelphia area December 5th, 6th, or 7th to the Bryn Mawr College Shakespeare Performance Troupe’s second production of the semester, HENRY IV, directed by Rebecca Cook. This is Rebecca’s debut at directing and the first time in memory that the SPT has mounted a history play. The performance will be staged in the Thomas Great Hall, which puts the Great Hall in Hogwarts to shame. 

The text relies most heavily on 1 Henry 4 but contains portions of 2 Henry 4 and the Epilogue to 2 Henry 4, performed by Rebecca Cook. Shakespeare dabbler Hardy Cook had a small hand in shaping this performance text. 

The production will have amazing costumes and dazzling fight scenes choreographed by a stage combat professional. The swords are pretty cool too.

I will be attending all three performances. If you come, please say hello. I am a Falstaff-looking guy sans cup of Sack but with a long ponytail. If you still don’t recognize me, I’ll be the guy beaming with fatherly pride.
