Tom Hanks returns to the stage in Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles’ presentation of Henry IV. The Daniel Sullivan-helmed production condenses the Bard’s two-part history into a one-evening distillation of the exploits of Falstaff and Prince Hal.
The cast also includes Hamish Linklater, Joe Morton, Harry Groener, and Tony winner Rondi Reed (who fills in for the initially announced Rita Wilson, Hanks’ wife).
