Quintessence Theatre presents Shakespeare’s “Rare Accidents”

Quintessence Theatre presents Shakespeare’s “Rare Accidents”

“Succession” was not the first time we obsessed over who dad was going to choose to take over. His father killed a king and usurped a kingdom, but the prodigal Prince Hal spends his days consorting with

commoners and playing pranks with his philandering old knight, Sir John Falstaff, rather than studying statecraft and preparing to be the next King of England. A civil war is threatened when Hotspur and his father, the Earl of Northumberland, claim their right to the throne, forcing Hal and Falstaff from the tavern to the battlefield. In this struggle for the divine right to wear the crown, Shakespeare’s epic family drama challenges what makes a good son, a good friend, and a good leader.

Group, senior, military, industry, and rush discounts are available based on performance and availability.
