O'Brien, who will direct the ambitious new staging of the Shakespeare, will speak on Nov. 12. His questioner will be playwright John Guare, a Lincoln Center regular. O'Brien recently directed the London premiere of Guare's adaptation of His Girl Friday.

On Dec. 17, meanwhile, actors from Henry IV will discuss their careers and process of putting together the new show. No names have been mentioned, but the cast will feature Kevin Kline, Richard Easton, Ethan Hawke, Billy Crudup and Audra McDonald.

Both events commence at 5:30 PM and are free to the public. Seating in the lobby is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis only, beginning at 5 PM.
