When England's King Henry VIII falls for the young, beautiful Anne Boleyn, he must somehow remove his beloved wife, Katherine of Aragon. Church and state collide when he defies papal authority by seeking to divorce her. 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 this Stratford Festival production of Shakespeare's play brings vividly to life the thrilling human drama behind a pivotal moment in history.
