Review: BLOODSPORT: AFTER HELEN OF TROY, Starring Michelle Dockery, Stratford East
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 11, 2026
After discussing gossip and patriarchy with Anne Boleyn in 1536, Ava Pickett keeps exploring the female spheres through the figure of Helen of Troy in Bloodsport. The war is over, and Helen has returned home. She has been brought back home, to be specific. Her husband is ecstatic, but her former best friend and confidante, Cee, doesn’t take the news well. Pickett reframes the Trojan War, setting it in contemporary Essex, in a play that raises a multitude of intersectionally feminist questions.

Review: 1536, The Ambassadors Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - May 14, 2026
On 13 May 1536, Anne Boleyn’s household is broken up ahead of her going on trial for treason.
