'Who knows yet
But from this Lady may proceed a gem
To lighten all this isle'

You know the story: a King who turns his country upside down to try and secure a male heir. But it's never been told this way before.

A Queen fights for justice. A Lady provokes reformation. But in the absence of a son, can
a Princess change the future?

See the story of Henry VIII from a female perspective: this exploration of love, lineage and power by Shakespeare's Globe Writer in Residence (2022) Hannah Khalil unfolds in a new way.
