As I said above, lots of violence. And potentially confusing costume changes.
We are not stinting on the vocabulary at all, so it might be a good idea to talk them through the general story-line beforehand. (And Vis' vision of how to do the choruses is going to make them less helpful for filling in the plot than usual...) Unlike all modern movie directors, we are not including any flashback scenes of Falstaff and Hal hanging around with the low-lives from Henry IV, so if you want them to understand *those* references, you'll also need to explain that ahead of time.
On the other hand, even if they don't understand the nuances of story, there's enough action to (I hope) hold their attention through most of it.
