With sharp dialogue and compelling characters, this historical fight for power explores humanity through a contemporary lens. A funny and powerful dissection of patriarchy, sexual politics and women’s rights.

Kate Parr agrees to marry King Henry VIII, but on her own terms. As she asserts her agency and fights for equal rights for Henry’s daughters, the volatile King struggles for control and authority. With a modern voice and fresh perspective, Kate Hennig reimagines the intricate lives of these iconic historical figures.
