The Famous History of the Life of Henry VIII (or All is True). A rarely performed Shakespearean historical play. The events of Henry's last 25 years, love, intrigue, war with France, Wolsey and the break with Rome. From Madrid, Spain. In 1533, the Spanish were enraged by Catherine of Aragon s divorce from Henry VIII. Eighty years later, Shakespeare engaged with the subject in his last play. Now four hundred years later, Rakat?, Madrid s premier young classical company, re-imagine this play from a Spanish perspective, with the thrilling clarity they bring to their productions of Spanish Golden Age work. Performed in Spanish. Part of Globe to Globe 2012 - World Shakespeare Festival
