Alison Neil
The Sixth Wife
Friday 8 Jun 2012 7:30pm
Katherine Parr saw each of Henry’s wives as they came and went - in
a variety of unpleasant ways. Her own life was far from peaceful: four
marriages, two indictments for treason, one love affair, power, wealth
and then death at the age of 36. She became Queen Regent when Henry
went to fight the French; she helped to form the new religion of England;
she also befriended a lonely and abandoned child - who later became
Queen Elizabeth I.
In this fast-moving and entertaining play, Katherine casts her witty,
observant eye over the turbulent Tudor age; and shows how a ‘mere
woman’ could shape the mind of a King - and the future of a nation.
