A circular, folk art-style illustration titled 'The Ballad of King Henry' featuring a crowned king playing an acoustic guitar. The scene shows him centered against a backdrop of rolling wheat fields, a distant castle, and ornamental wheat stalks in the foreground. The design uses a limited color palette of navy, gold, and sage green, with decorative stars and birds scattered throughout.

The Ballad of King Henry

Music and Lyrics by Jeffrey Barg & Book by Sally Ollove; Conceived by Benjamin Kamine

Directed by: Mike Sokolowski

You never knew Shakespeare was all about the hootenanny. This raucous original new musical presents the Bard’s classic tale of a prince’s coming-of-age as it was intended–with all the foot-stomping, harmonica-blowing, acoustic-throwdown tunes your boxcar-riding bones can handle. The Ballad of King Henry adapts Shakespeare’s story of Henry IV, Prince Hal, Hotspur and Falstaff–arguably the greatest character the Bard ever wrote–to the sound of folk music.
