Henry VIII
This new adaptation, directed by Olivier award-nominated Amy Hodge, brings a different perspective to Henry VIII that isn’t always highlighted in the classroom. Henry VIII is known for leaving behind a tale of tragedy that we are all very familiar with, however, this new production gives us a chance to witness the harrowing events which occur from a female perspective.
The basis of the story remains the same. Henry VIII is a king who turns his kingdom upside down in a relentless pursuit of a male heir for the throne. In the absence of a son or a prince, will a princess be able to change the future? Originally written by William Shakespeare and his collaborator and successor John Fletcher, tickets for this classic production are available now!
