HENRY VIII

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.
