Anne Boleyn
Saturday, July 24th, 2010The full cast has now been announced for Howard Brenton’s Anne Boleyn playing at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre this summer. The show, which will be the world premiere of this new play, opens on 24 July for previews and runs until 21 August 2010. Theatre tickets are on sale now.
Miranda Raison was previously announced in the title role, and will now be joined by Anthony Howell playing King Henry VIII, and James Garnon as King James I. Also appearing are John Cummins, Michael Bertenshaw, Sam Cox, Ben Deery, Naomi Cranston, Mary Doherty, Will Featherstone, John Dougall, Colin Hurley, Peter Hamilton Dyer, Amanda Lawrence and Dickon Tyrell. John Dove will direct the show, which is designed by Michael Taylor.
Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII’s second wife, a passionate woman in love with both the King and politics. Howard Brenton has said that he “sets out to challenge the traditional assumptions of Anne Boleyn as a pawn manipulated by an ambitious father or as a sexually licentious predator, even a witch. Here, Brenton puts a very different Anne on the Globe stage – a witty and confident woman with controversial religious ideals, taking on the vicious world of Tudor politics.”
Currently showing is Henry IV Part One, closely followed by Henry IV Part Two opening on 3 July. The plays form part of the Kings And Rogues season at the Globe, which will also include the Merry Wives of Windsor and new play Bedlam by Nell Leyshon.
