A Tudor double bill - ALPHA and SIX: TEEN EDITION (Advanced Skills)
An evening of entertainment courtesy of the court of Henry VIII but as you've never seen it before! The first half (ALPHA) is an original play exploring the toxic masculinity of Henry VIII and how he is defined and remembered primarily for his six wives, through a series of locker room chats between him and his friends. The second half is the West End sensation - SIX: TEEN EDITION (By Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss)! Henry VIII's six wives explode onto the stage in a concert of poptastic proportions as they retell their stories with bucket loads of sass.
