Brian Dennehy Considering Falstaffian Turn for 2007 Central Park Debut
June 20, 2006
It was recently announced that Dennehy has signed on to make his Shakespeare in the Park debut in 2007. No play or director have been officially named.
The New York article did not mention whether the Falstaff play being considered was Henry IV, Part I, Henry IV, Part II or Merry Wives of Windsor. Shakespeare wrote the character in several of his works. (Falstaff was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I.) The fat knight is also seen briefly, on his death bed, in Henry V.
