The Last Wife
By Kate Hennig
United Players
A contemporary retelling of the compelling relationship between Katherine Parr and Henry VIII, The Last Wife is a funny, powerful examination of patriarchy, sexual politics and women’s rights.

“The Last Wife is a completely absorbing take on the patriarchy, the status of 16th century women in Britain…Ably directed by Laura McLean, the cast – non-professional with the exception of Matthew Bissett (Henry VIII) – performs with all the skill and confidence of professionals.”
