Description
Anne Boleyn dramatises the life and legacy of Henry VIII's notorious second wife, who helped change the course of England's history. Traditionally seen as either the pawn of an ambitious family manoeuvred into the King's bed or as a predator manipulating her way to power, Anne is reimagined in a new light.
Howard Brenton's play explores the complex and often contradictory nature of this great English heroine, revealing a brilliant but reckless young woman confident in her sexuality. Her marriage and death had a profound impact on England, transforming its course forever.
The play was first performed at Shakespeare's Globe in 2010 and received critical acclaim, including being named Best New Play at the Whatsonstage.com Awards in 2011. It has since been revived and toured regionally.
