I have decided that Sir John Falstaff deserves a play all his own, so I am adapting one from the "plays within plays" in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 and the beginning of Henry V. My effort consists of removing anything which does not relate to his story or help developing his character.
The goal is to bring the performance time under two and one half hours while still providing a coherent story.
Has anyone set a similar challenge to themselves?
My working title is :Falstaff or Prince Hal and the Mountebank."
