Hilary Mantel’s fictional tour de force (the novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies) arrives onstage in a thrilling theatrical experience about the deceit, betrayal and intrique at the court of Henry VIII. Both parts of the production can either be seen in one day with a dinner break of approximately two-and-a-half hours, or can be seen on two different days.

Set in the court of Henry VIII, Wolf Hall Part One portrays how Thomas Cromwell, an ambitious politician, aids the king in achieving his goal: bedding the bewitching Anne Boleyn.
