Henry VIII (Rent)

Henry VIII (Rent)

Church and state collide when England's king defies papal authority by seeking to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon. The consequences will be epochal for the country - and calamitous for the king's adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, who has been playing a dangerous game of his own.

Passion, political intrigue and personal faith drive the action as Shakespeare brings vividly to life the thrilling human drama behind a pivotal moment in history.
