A new, revised edition for the London transfer of Mike Poulton's
expertly adapted two-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel's hugely
acclaimed novels, featuring a substantial set of character notes by
Hilary Mantel. Mike Poulton's 'expertly adapted' (Evening Standard)
two-part ad adaptation of Hilary Mantel's acclaimed novels Wolf
Hall and Bring Up the Bodies is a 'gripping piece of narrative
theatre ... history made manifest' (Guardian). The plays were
premiered to great acclaim by the Royal Shakespeare Company in
Stratford-upon-Avon in 2013, before transferring to the Aldwych
Theatre in London's West End in May 2014. Wolf Hall begins in
England in 1527. Henry has been King for almost twenty years and is
desperate for a male heir; but Cardinal Wolsey is unable to deliver
the divorce he craves. Yet for a man with the right talents this
crisis could be an opportunity. Thomas Cromwell is a commoner who
has risen in Wolsey's household - and he will stop at nothing to
secure the King's desires and advance his own ambitions. In Bring
Up the Bodies, the volatile Anne Boleyn is now Queen, her career
seemingly entwined with that of Cromwell. But when the King begins
to fall in love with self-effacing Jane Seymour, the ever-pragmatic
Cromwell must negotiate within an increasingly perilous Court to
satisfy Henry, defend the nation and, above all, to secure his own
rise in the world. Hilary Mantel's novels are the most formidable
literary achievements of recent times, both recipients of the Man
Booker Prize. This volume contains both plays and a substantial set
of notes by Hilary Mantel on each of the principal characters,
offering a unique insight into the adaptations and an invaluable
resource to any theatre companies wishing to stage them.
