Customer Reviews
The Downfall of Falstaff (finally)
I read this play back in 2015 before I’d read the Henry IV plays. Falstaff didn’t really stand out to me so I didn’t remember him. When I started this reread I wasn’t too excited about more of Falstaff’s hijinks (maybe he reminds me too much of the boys-playing-men my age that I seem to always run into). In the end, I was so happy that Falstaff got what was coming to him for three plays now. It’s about bloody time. I enjoyed this play immensely because Falstaff finally got his comeuppance. Falstaff groupies won’t like this play much, but if he annoyed you to know end in the Henry IV plays, you will greatly enjoy this play.
Where is the text?
I will be asking for my money back... There is nothing but black pages where the actual text should be... All of the introductory information is there... But not the actual play.
