Event information
The Life of King Henry VIII: All is True
by William Shakespeare & John Fletcher
adapted by Hannah Khalil
Discover Henry VIII as you’ve never seen it before - a bold reimagining that centres the untold female perspective in this well-known tale of a king’s relentless quest for a male heir.
Adapted by Hannah Khalil, Shakespeare’s Globe Writer in Residence (2022), this fresh production of The Life of King Henry VIII: All is True explores the powerful dynamics of love, lineage, and authority from the viewpoints of the women whose lives are forever altered by the whims of the monarchy.
Owen Horsley directs this story of ambition and consequence, revealing the strength and resilience often hidden in the shadows of history.
“A clever and funny production [which] shifts the focus away from the petulant monarch and on to his first two wives.” - The Telegraph
“…a work that’s fresh, colourful, lively and entertaining…” - Culture Whisper
