Anne Boleyn by Howard Brenton.

Traditionally seen as either the pawn of an ambitious family maneuvered into the King's bed or as a predator manipulating her way to power, Anne, and her ghost, are seen in a very different light in Howard Brenton's epic play.

Upon coming to the throne in 1603, King James I finds alarming evidence that Anne was a religious conspirator, in love with Henry VIII but also with the most dangerous ideas of her day.

She comes alive for him, a brilliant but reckless young woman, whose marriage and death transformed England forever.
