A tale of three kings. . . Shakespeare de-mystified! The Regal Throne is a tale of three very different kings. We watch narcissistic Richard self-destruct as he loses the crown to his ambitious cousin, Bolingbroke, who manipulated his way to the 'regal throne' as Henry IV. Then the exploits of his wayward son, Prince Hal and his comic companions in debauchery, including the famous fat knight of misrule, Falstaff, while his father battles with intrigue, insurrection and guilt at his usurping Richard.
