Two Majestic Plays, One Royal Event 

The novels, by Hilary Mantel, won multiple honors and became world-famous, best-selling sensations. The plays sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and quickly transferred to London, where they received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End's biggest hits. Now the Royal Shakespeare Company's productions of Wolf Hall Parts 1 & 2 are coming to Broadway for a strictly limited engagement!  Performed in repertory, these exhilarating stories of power and persuasion will transport audiences to the volatile court of Henry VIII, where words cut like steel and the shadow of the Tower loomed over all. 

PART ONE: WOLF HALL
England, 1527. The court of Henry VIII is in upheaval as the King rages over his lack of a male heir. But when Henry’s anger turns to passion for the alluring Anne Boleyn, the Pope refuses to grant him an annulment from his wife, Katherine of Aragon. Into the fray steps Thomas Cromwell, a shrewd and ambitious politician, who realizes that the man who gets Anne into Henry’s bed will win the favor of the Crown. Using charm, deception and wit, Cromwell will climb the thorny ladder of power and bring the King what he most desires.

PART TWO: BRING UP THE BODIES

Anne Boleyn is now the queen of Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell has become the King’s chief adviser…and chief fixer.  Anne has failed to deliver Henry a male heir, and the King turns his eyes towards a new conquest, Jane Seymour. Thomas Cromwell realizes his only hope to satisfy the hot-blooded Henry, and survive the deadly intrigue of the court, is to align with his greatest enemies.  But whose head will pay for his ruthless ambition?

Quotation Mark

The novels, by two-time Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel, won multiple honors and became world-famous, best-selling sensations. The plays sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and quickly transferred to London, where they received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End's biggest hit plays. Now the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Wolf Hall Parts One & Two" is on Broadway for a strictly limited engagement! Performed in repertory, this exhilarating story of lust, power and politics will transport audiences to the volatile court of King Henry VIII, where words cut like steel and the shadow of the Tower loomed over all.

Indeed, all the most exciting stuff happens offstage in Jeremy Herrin's efficient Shakespearean staging. You know someone has died when a coffin borne by black-clad monks passes upstage while a light snow falls. A parade of nobles and historical figures march through bearing news and rumors from beyond. Christopher Oram's versatile set provides for these quick entrances and exits while imposing an aura of metal and flame. A rusty steel frame hangs overhead like a cage, ready to trap any of the rats scurrying below. The upstage wall forms a giant Cross of St. George, which Paule Constable and David Plater light in a stunning variety of formations to create distinct places for this play that jumps o'er times with what seems like a cast of thousands.

But the production rides squarely on Cromwell, who rarely leaves the stage in five-plus hours. He’s a blacksmith’s son turned key power player, and the terrific Ben Miles expertly summons the man in full: his tenderness, humor and heartless ambition all in one. Miles reigns in this court.
