Event information

Based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s 2013 novel The Queen’s Game, this blend of fact and fiction gives us the familiar story of Henry VIII told from the perspective of his sixth and final wife, the independently-minded Katherine Parr (a mesmerising Alicia Vikander). Attention-grabbing jealousy arises between Jude Law’s ‘monstrous’ Henry and his savvy new consort Katherine as she works to side-step any accusations of insolence while protecting her religious certainties. As the mercurial Henry, rotten with festering leg wounds, continues to air his grievances, can Katherine’s pursuit of religious freedom defeat Henry’s network of spies? Spoiler alert: most of us know how it ends.
