Description
The Mirror and the Light RSC Stage Adaptation by Hilary Mantel and Ben Miles. In 1536, England is gripped by fate. Anne Boleyn's execution has sealed her destiny, while Jane Seymour prepares to deliver the healthy heir King Henry VIII craves. Thomas Cromwell, once a blacksmith's son from Putney, now holds immense power at the king's right hand. But when the king turns on those closest to him, what will be their fate? Hilary Mantel's trilogy has been hailed as one of recent times' outstanding literary achievements. This stage adaptation, directed by Jeremy Herring and co-produced with Playful Productions and the Royal Shakespeare Company, brings the exhilarating conclusion to the trilogy to life. The play contains the text of the production, along with an introduction by Hilary Mantel on each principal character - offering a unique insight into her work. This volume provides a valuable resource for theatre companies wishing to stage the play, as well as a fascinating glimpse into Mantel's world.
