Details

The Last Days of Anne Boleyn charts the 17 days leading up to her death, which Boleyn spent at the Tower of London. It has been partially created using her own words, taken from letters written to her husband, Henry VIII, and her final speech, delivered on the scaffold moments before her execution. The open-air staging will be performed on the site of the lost Tudor Palace at the tower. On 5 May there will be one performance at 14:00, following Anne Boleyn's arrival at the Tower by boat. Please note that the river arrival will only happen on 5 May.
