It's the final instalment of a trio of plays featuring women who figure in the centre of English history and whose voices have never before been heard. 

Wednesday 13th October 1537 another ordinary day except a new queen, Jane, has given birth to a son - an achievement beyond compare in Henry VIII’s court. Elizabeth, Countess of Wiltshire keenly feeling the loss of her son George and her daughter Anne, previous queen of England, struggles to find cause for celebration even though she fully understands the treachery that is within the English court. On the path to greatness her losses have been heavy, were they worth it?

She is Anne Boleyn’s mother and grandmother to the motherless future Queen Elizabeth I.

Please note this event takes place in our upstairs theatre space which is accessed by a staircase and a seated chairlift and is not accessible by wheelchair.
