- Summary:
- Church and state collide when England's king defies papal authority by seeking to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon. The consequences will be epochal for the country - and calamitous for the king's adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, who has been playing a dangerous game of his own. Passion, political intrigue and personal faith drive the action as Shakespeare brings vividly to life the thrilling human drama behind a pivotal moment in history.
