King David sings his psalms. A world away, King Henry plots. And
courtier Thomas Wyatt sees them both, his beloved falcon Lukkes on
his arm. David wants Bathsheba. Henry too must have what he wants.
He wants Ann, a divorce, a son. He looks up at his tapestry of
David and sees a mighty predecessor who defended his faith and took
what he liked. But he leaves it to others to count the costs. Among
those counting is the poet Wyatt, who sees a different David, a man
who repented before God, in song as in life. This is the version of
the biblical king which Wyatt must give voice to as he translates
David's psalms. As David pursues Bathsheba, Henry courts Ann, and
Wyatt interweaves the past and present. Lux is a story of love and
its reach, fidelity and faith, power and its abuses.
