Caridad Svich offers a new take on the history play, which tells
the story of Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn. Shakespeare's
Henry VIII is a story of a brazen race to power and the desire for
an heir. Advised by Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII is caught between
church and state as he meets Anne Boleyn and seeks to annul his
marriage to Queen Katherine. This episodic and plot-driven play
examines the machinations of royal power. Shakespeare's Henry VIII,
in this new translation by Caridad Svich, is a swift-moving,
complex tale of intrigue. This translation of Henry VIII was
written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On!
project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine
Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from "The Bard"
in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the
beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse
group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges
from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for
the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available
for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.
