In an ambitious and groundbreaking approach to drama
and history, historian Lucy Worsley time travels back to the Tudor
Court to witness some of the most dramatic moments in the lives of Henry
VIII's six wives.Combining drama,
written by Chloe Moss, with Lucy's own contemporary historical comment,
Lucy will move seamlessly from the present to the past, appearing as a
range of silent servants: a maid, a midwife, a nursemaid.Closely-knit and often related to each other, the Tudor court was
made up of a small group of powerful families all vying for influence
and power over each other. While it was a world run by men and the King
had ultimate power, each Queen found their own unique methods of
exerting influence. It is these women's stories that Lucy wants to
uncover, witness and explore, as well as offering a very new lens on
Henry himself.
