Members of Chedworth Drama will be performing in the Apollo Productions setting of this famous play, very relevant in today's troubled political times.
Henry VIII wants a divorce, and will force changes in the law, in religion and in his government to get what he wants. The players are betting their lives on success, failure or impasse. Risking war with former, if temporary, allies and throwing a recently warring England back into turmoil. A megalomaniac King, volatile and wayward, increasingly demanding and authoritarian plays havoc with his court whose machinations will seem all too familiar to a modern audience.
