Bradley University Theatre will present Henry IV Part One at the O’Sullivan Studio Theatre on the Bradley University campus at 7:30 pm. A Shakespearean masterpiece about King Henry IV’s struggle with rebellious nobles (particularly Henry “Hotspur” Percy), while his son, Prince Hal, navigates a wild life with the roguish Falstaff, before proving his worth. This history play, written around 1597, covers the period from late 1402 to mid-1403 and explores themes of honor, rebellion, and father-son relationships, contrasting the king’s disappointment in Hal with his envy of Hotspur’s gallantry. The production will be guest-directed by Deb Alley, a nationally respected theatre artist and educator. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for Bradley faculty, staff and senior citizens and $10 for students and are available by calling 309-677-2650 or online at
