About the book

William Shakespeare's Henry VIII dramatises the final years of the Tudor king's marriage to Katherine of Aragon, the rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, and the political and religious tensions surrounding the royal court. Combining public ceremony with private conflict, the play explores power, conscience, ambition and dynastic change while looking ahead to the birth of the future Elizabeth I.
