Queen Katherine Parr: The Life, Love and Times of the Last Wife of Henry VIII

 

An integrated live presentation of the extraordinary life of Katherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII. Using music, readings and video to recreate the atmosphere and intrigues of the Tudor Court, we tell the largely unknown story of this incredible Queen and her journey from obscurity to the heart of English history, and on to her final resting place at Sudeley Castle.

Stepmother to two Queens, “Bloody Mary” and Elisabeth I, Queen, Queen Regent, Wife and Lover, Katherine’s life story resonates through the ages and is a must for all who are fascinated by our country’s dramatic history.
