Chimes at Midnight (Campanadas a medianoche) 59 years old
A Distinguished Company Breathes Life Into Shakespeare’s Lusty Age of FALSTAFF
The culmination of Orson Welles’s lifelong obsession with Shakespeare’s robustly funny and ultimately tragic antihero, Sir John Falstaff; the often soused friend of King Henry IV’s wayward son Prince Hal. Integrating elements from both Henry IV plays as well as Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
