Liking the RSC's trailer for Henry IV parts 1 & 2

Henry IV part 1 was the first Shakespeare play I studied at school. It seemed so dull on the page and I never saw it performed which would have inevitably brought it to life and therefore brought a greater appreciation.

Having watched this trailer, I can't wait to see it in Stratford in the Summer. Prior to seeing the trailer I would have put money on Antony Sher stealing the show as Falstaff but now I think he might have competition from Alex Hassall's Prince Hal.
