In Bars and Brothels

In Bars and Brothels:

“Walk with the common man, lose the kings” or Fanfare for the Common Man

I know that plays aren’t exactly a big thing right now, but there was this one play written awhile back that I think we could stand to learn a lot from. For the setting of the play the author (we’ll just call him B.S. for now) takes the history of the old kings of England. The play is all about a king named Henry, who has just deposed the previous king and taken his throne, and all of the battles and turmoil that ensues from that fateful decision. But the thing I want us to focus on in the play is the king’s son, Prince Hal.
