This is a celebration of a great English heroine, dramatising the life and legacy of Henry VIII’s notorious second wife Anne, who helped change the course of a nation’s history. Traditionally either seen as a pawn of an ambitious family or as a predator manipulating her way to power, Anne and her ghost are seen in a very different light in this epic play.

With a cast of characters including the infamous Henry, King James I and Thomas Cromwell this play is both historically illuminating while managing to be dearly funny.

As they start to explore each other’s worlds, they begin to discover what every good relationship needs: time and space. Exploring the complexities of connection, especially in the LGBTQ+ community, and the contrast in lived experiences across generations, the play is comedic and touching, a love letter to British sci-fi television - those that make it and those that adore it.

A play about joy and heartbreak, quarries, and transmat beams.

Powerfully written with themes of grief, romance, introversion, voyeurism, OCD and loneliness. Love is not a cast iron set of symptoms.
