Anne Boleyn at Marin Theatre Company

From Wolf Hall to The Tudors, you've seen men tell their side of this story. The downfall of King Henry VIII's lusty, greedy second wife Anne Boleyn. Now it's her turn.

Henry wants a son, Anne, and a divorce—in that order. Sex and politics rarely mix, or so say Henry's scheming advisors, Thomas Cromwell and Cardinal Wolsey. Not content to be just another one of Henry's mistresses, the clever Anne seizes an opportunity for a legitimate marriage—and some sneaky Protestant reformations while she’s at it.

Anne's alluring religious fervor earns her allies as well as enemies. Between her failed attempts to deliver Henry a male heir and Henry's newfound affection for one of Anne's ladies-in-waiting, it isn’t long before she’s got a date on the chopping block in the Tower of London.

This sexy, smart revisionist history examines how a woman with convictions navigates a world of royal ambition, lusty affairs and shifting allegiances.
