Queens

Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn. Come watch Henry’s queens punish Henry until he learns his lesson well. King Henry VIII is trapped in purgatory and bound to his throne by a sinister Fool, and the ghostly Women in Red. Here in his gilded cage, he is forced to relive the sins he committed against his queens, mistresses and people, over and over again for an eternity. The script integrates a multitude of original source documents: letters, eye-witness accounts, 16th-century children’s rhymes and song lyrics.
