T01483422184See the story of Henry VIII from a female perspective as Shakespeare's exploration of love, lineage and power, co-written with John Fletcher, unfolds in the Globe Theatre this Summer. You know the story: a King who turns his country upside down to try and secure a male heir. But it's never been told this way before. A Queen fights for justice. A Lady provokes reformation. But in the absence of a son, can a Princess change the future? Amy Hodge (Women Beware Women, Globe) directs this production which sees the Globe's 2022 Resident Writer Hannah Khalil (A Museum in Baghdad) become Shakespeare and Fletcher's third collaborator.Adapted by Hannah Khalil.

T503985167A scorching new reworking of Shakespeare's classic text for Golden Jubilee year. The mind and body of a hot-blooded young King are the prize in a vicious three-way power struggle between his queen Katherine, his mistress Anne, and the ruthlesssly ambitious Cardinal Wolsey - one of Shakespeare's most gloriously despicable villains. At stake are marriages, empires, careers - and necks! Shakespeare's rarely performed dramatisation of the political and sexual intrigue surrounding the first two wives of England's most volatile monarch has been dragged out of the mothballs of period costume, and cut into a new, fast moving, sexually charged thriller set in our contemporary world of SEX, SLEAZE, PALACE SCANDAL and POLITICAL SPIN.Producer Suzanna Rosenthal.
