King Henry VIII:
(Male, 35-45). Requires an actor with immense charm and charisma, able to speak heightened text with aplomb. This is NOT the later in life, rotund Henry. Must be physically attractive and athletic, showing both a deeply troubled and aggressive nature. He must be able to gain both our sympathy and disgust.
Anne Bollen:
(Female, late 20s-30s). Charming and attractive. Must be able to play the status of a potential Queen mixed with the ambition and flirtation of a coquette. Dance ability is a plus.

Falstaff:
(Male, mid 40s). PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. A warrior, the size of a defensive lineman football player, a great drinker and womanizer, very resourceful. Can be an actor of large size, or can be padded. Has attained rank by his wits. Prototypes: Chris Farley, Bernie Mac, John Candy, Jon Belushi.
Mistress Page:
(Female, late 30s-early 40s). Middle class and fun-loving. Warm hearted and intelligent with a youthful mindset.
