An RGR Productions / Foundry Group co-production:

An Audience with Henry VIII

By Ross Gurney-Randall and Pete Howells.

Directed by Tony Haase.​

 

His Majesty does not have syphilis. He wants to make that quite clear. And as for the wives – there were perfectly good reasons why they had to go. And if we’re asking the awkward questions, Henry has one for us – where is God?

Henry has been waiting 468 years to meet God and he’s running out of patience.

The 16th-century King meets a 21st Century audience. Heads will roll.

​

‘The script is witty and incisive.... a strong and commanding performance.’ – FringeReview.

‘From the moment King Henry VIII storms the stage he rules the house. Ross Gurney-Randall makes a larger than life and imposing King – he delivers pure entertainment. It’s a
delightful performance.’ – The Pitch, Kansas City

‘The show, in short, is anything but dry history. It’s a comic romp that at times achieves palpable poignancy.’ – Kansas City Star
