Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

In collaboration with the Christ Church Dramatic Society

England. May, 1536. Anne Boleyn’s fate has been sealed by a hired French executioner. It now befalls Jane Seymour to deliver Henry VIll the healthy heir he craves. Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith’s son from the gutters of Putney, has knocked down everyone in his path: established at the right hand of the king, he is now the most powerful man in England.

But what will you do, an astute witness asks, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?

Adapted for stage by Hilary Mantel and Ben Miles, Royal Shakespeare Company, 2021.
