Charmingly Weird Henry IV

(This review of the The Flower of England’s Face, now showing at the UW Penthouse Theatre, was written by Seth Halleran of the UW News Lab) He cranes his arm back then flicks it forward, launching his whip, snapping through the air near inches from his foe. The Earl of Douglas, leader of the Scottish rebels, pulls his whip back again, this time using it to snatch King Henry IV’s wooden sword from the ground at his feet. Though he lacks a kilt, the…
