About

The reign of King Henry VIII unfolds through a series of falls from royal favor—Cardinal Wolsey's disgrace, the trial and execution of Katherine of Aragon's marriage, and the rise of Anne Boleyn. The play ends with the christening of the future Elizabeth I, presented as the dawn of a glorious new era.
