378: Entertaining Henry (Live Show Updates)

It'll be a bit quiet on the pod this week, as we're doing some live shows - tickets available below - but we thought we should update you on some of the online options for our patrons, which you might want to go for. We're doing a basic live stream of rehearsal runs from Tuesday this week, around 3pm each day - become a patron and grab the link. Otherwise, more on this next week when it's all over. Information about the archiving of Entertaining Henry - open access Patreon live rehearsal link and details (you will need to be a patreon from £1 or more) Entertaining Henry is a co-production with The Quay Theatre and Beyond Shakespeare... Let us take you through a whistle-stop tour of the entertainment world from Henry’s reign: from his youthful days to his more fractious later life, we will share the history of his reign through the plays he and his subjects enjoyed. Play along with our Tudor Bingo Card, catch the pop-up merry tales, and enjoy entertainments fit for a king! Friday 20th June at 7.30pm Show 1 - Welcome to Henry’s Court! (1509 to 1520's) We welcome you to the Court of the newly-crowned King Henry! Let us introduce you to all the major players on and off stage, the rules of the court, and perform some of the earliest plays to survive from his reign – plays designed to curb Henry’s boisterous ways. https://quaysudbury.com/events/entertaining-henry-show-1-welcome-to-henrys-court/ Saturday 21st June at 7.30pm Show 2 - Reformation: More vs Cromwell (1520’s to 1530’s) As the Reformation hit England, different factions created dramas around the political rifts at court. The literary set that orbited Thomas More presented traditional debate on one side, whilst the rising star of Thomas Cromwell commissioned his players to write revelations on the other. https://quaysudbury.com/events/entertaining-henry-show-2-reformation-more-vs-cromwell/ Sunday 22nd June at 7.30pm Show 3 - Snail Fight! And Other Tudor Shenanigans (1530’s to 1547) We close our festival with some of the sillier plays from the end of Henry’s reign – featuring a sword fight with a snail, an ecclesiastical bust up in a church, and the epic conquest of the monster Tediousness! https://quaysudbury.com/events/entertaining-henry-show-3-snail-fight-and-other-tudor-shenanegans/ Season discount for each show - £14 for one show, £26 for two shows, £36 for all three Book Tickets Now for Show 1!
