HENRY VIII: ALL IS TRUE
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |
With a story so explosive it literally set fire to the Globe Theatre in 1613, the Bard’s final historical tale takes audiences back to the religiously charged conflict between King Henry VIII and the English church, examined earlier in the season in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS—but this time, through the eyes of the King. After years of marriage to his brother’s widow, Henry begins to suspect that his union with Katherine of Aragon isn’t as holy as he thought. But is his doubt the only driving force behind his change of heart, or is his burgeoning love for the alluring Anne Boleyn also to blame?
The story continues as the cast of A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS returns to reprise their roles to tell the story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn from Henry’s perspective and in Shakespeare’s verse.
