King Henry VIII by William Shakespeare
"King Henry VIII" by William Shakespeare is a collaborative history play written with John Fletcher around 1613, based on the life of Henry VIII. The drama follows the ruthless Cardinal Wolsey's machinations at court, the King's divorce from Queen Katherine, and his marriage to Anne Bullen. Through trials, political plots, and spectacular court ceremonies, the play builds toward the christening of the future Queen Elizabeth, while exploring themes of power, loyalty, and
the dangerous favor of kings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
