GreenStage to Present HENRY VIII, 7/13-8/18
By: Kelsey Denette Jun. 13, 2012
GreenStage presents William Shakespeare's Henry VIII, directed by Teresa Thuman, in area parks opening July 13 and running through August 18. GreenStage, Seattle's longest-running Shakespeare company now beginning its 24th season, produces plays free of charge to bring great theater to all.
Power struggles at the court of King Henry VIII, pomp and pageantry, behind-the-scenes scheming, suspense, and intrigue mark this fascinating history of one of England's most complex and notorious kings. The final play of Shakespeare's life is broadly human, focused on the moral tension of leadership and the humility that comes with governance.
