Photo Flash: Court Intrigue! First Look at WOLF HALL Regional Premiere in Houston

Wolf Hall: Parts I and II, based on the novels by Hilary Mantel and adapted for the Stage by Mike Poulton, is making its Regional Premiere, directed by Rebecca Greene Udden, at Main Street Theater (Rice Village, 2540 Times Blvd., Houston, TX) this fall. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

This dramatic event features two exceptional plays set in the court of Henry VIII and adapted from Hilary Mantel's novels. In Part One (Wolf Hall), the court of Henry VIII is in utter upheaval as the King rages over his lack of a male heir. The shrewd and ambitious Thomas Cromwell inserts himself into the political scene to help the king pursue his passion for Anne Boleyn and secure an annulment from Katherine of Aragon.

Part Two (Bring Up the Bodies) charts Anne's downfall and the rise of Jane Seymour. Cromwell must negotiate an increasingly perilous court to satisfy Henry, defend the nation, and advance his own ambitions. Featuring a cast of 23.

Part One: Wolf Hall previews October 19 - 21 at 7:30 p.m., opens October 22, and continues through December 18, 2016. Part Two: Bring Up the Bodies previews October 26 - 28 at 7:30 p.m., opens October 29, and continues through December 18, 2016.
