The Other Boleyn Girl

Henry VIII''s court is a stage for love and treachery, where the weapons of choice are sex, marriage – and the executioner''s axe. As Henry''s mistress, Mary Boleyn is a pawn in her family''s lust for power. Queen Katherine of Aragon hasn''t produced a male heir, and Mary''s ruthless uncle scents the chance of putting his niece on the throne.

But Henry''s wandering eye has fallen on another: Mary''s headstrong sister, Anne, whose ambition not only threatens to destroy her bond with Mary, but shakes the foundations of Church and State.

Based on Philippa Gregory''s internationally bestselling novel, The Other Boleyn Girl is a brilliant evocation of intrigue at the Tudor court – a racy and riveting drama of events that changed the course of English history. This stage adaptation by Mike Poulton was premiered at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2024, directed by Lucy Bailey.
