'Till Death: The Six Wives of Henry the 8th

  • Sunset Theatre Society 2357 Pooley Street Wells, BC, V0K 2R0 Canada (map)

Written and Directed by Ryan Gladstone

Starring Tara Travis

Original Score by Drew Jurecka and Robbie Grunwald

The Betrayed Wife. The Scheming Wife. The Peacemaker. The Ugly German. The Tarty One. The One in Love with Someone Else.

Six Queens.  Six Love stories.  Six Deaths.  One Actress!

It all starts in the afterlife, in a bizarre waiting room of sorts. One by one, the wives of Henry VIII arrive, much to the shock and dismay of each previous wife. What culminates is the heated frenzy of an ex-wives club where these women swap stories, toss Anne Boleyn’s head around, pick on the ugly German one, and, most importantly, fight for the right to be acknowledged as Henry’s true bride and eternal partner.

But when Henry arrives…everything changes.
