1536 breaks

Kings don’t kill their wives, right? Tudor England. A field in Essex. Three women hurry to their childhood meeting place, thirsty for gossip from London. Word spreads of a clash between King Henry VIII and his Queen, Anne Boleyn. And closer to home, another rumour begins to catch fire. As these women begin to see echoes of the royal drama in their own rural lives, a tide of violence threatens their very existence, and they realise the royal scandal could cost them everything. The creative team for 1536 includes; Director: Lyndsey Turner; Set and Costume Designer: Max Jones; Lighting Designer: Jack Knowles; Sound Designer: Tingying Dong, Movement and Intimacy Director: Anna Morrissey; Composer and Arranger: Will Stuart and Casting Director: Amy Ball CDG. 1536 is produced in the West End by Sonia Friedman Productions, Annapurna Theatre, and the Almeida Theatre.
