Abstract
Henry VIII is a historical drama depicting the later years of the Tudor king’s reign, including political intrigue, the fall of Cardinal Wolsey, and the king’s marriage to Anne Boleyn. The play reflects themes of authority, reputation, and the shifting nature of royal favour, ending on a note of national hope with the birth of Elizabeth I.
