 | | Henry's life was the subject of a famous but inaccurate Simpsons television episode in 2004, in which Homer Simpson played the King. | | | Henry VIII was the first English monarch to regularly use the style "Majesty", though the alternatives "Highness" and "Grace" were also used from time to time. | | | Born at the Palace of Placentia at Greenwich, Henry was the third child of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. |

| | The play depicts the relationship between Henry VIII of England, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Cardinal Wolsey. | | | Henry VIII is one of the few plays by Shakespeare that can be very precisely dated, because the fire that destroyed the Globe theatre is described in several contemporary documents. | | | Henry VIII ( 1613) was one of William Shakespeare's last plays. |

| | SparkNotes: Henry VIII: Context |
| | Henry VIII was written in 1613; it combines the genre of the history play, a genre Shakespeare commonly used earlier in his career, and the tragicomic romance, a genre gaining new popularity in the early 17th century. | | | Some people have concluded from this fact that Shakespeare's plays in reality were written by someone else--Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford are the two most popular candidates--but the evidence for this claim is overwhelmingly circumstantial, and the theory is not taken seriously by many scholars. | | | Likely the most influential writer in all of English literature and certainly the most important playwright of the English Renaissance, William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England. |

| | Henry VIII the play by William Shakespeare |
| | Many believe Henry VIII to be Shakespeare's last play, but others firmly believe that the Bard had little, if anything, to do with its creation. | | | The picture is 18th century and image displayed represents the essence of the play which, we hope, will bring to life a famous scene or character from the Henry VIII. | | | Henry was a proud and wilful monarch who defies Rome's ban on divorce to marry Ann Bullen (Boleyn). |

| | Later in the play Henry finds out Wosley has been deceiving him and consequently Henry strips Wosley of his position and marries Anne Bullen, a woman that he meets at a diner party. | | | Henry's reign is quite different from Shakespeare's depiction, likely because he is the father to Elizabeth (the presiding monarch while Shakespeare wrote many of his plays). | | | Henry is easily influenced by the self-serving Cardinal Wosley and is prompted to strip one of his closest advisors (Buckingham) of his title, sending him to jail. |

| | The material of the play is extremely touchy, since Henry VIII was Elizabeth's father, so it seems likely that by 1613 and the version we have from the First Folio, the authorities would have tampered with this one. | | | Buckingham's father had joined the revolt against Richard III and was condemned without a trial, but Henry VII restored the Buckingham name. | | | Henry's divorce from Katherine has gone through and she is ill. The coronation parade passes and Anne is universally admired for her beauty. |

| | Ultimately Henry VIII plays most like a prequel to Elizabeth (1999)--right down to using the same piece of Elgar to underscore the finale--and has most of the same faults and virtues as that Oscar-winning film. | | | Henry is presented as a brash, lustful, but often boyishly-innocent figure, vulnerable and wounded by others around him, especially the wives, if they do not live up to his expectations or desires of loving him for himself. | | | This is meant to draw the tragedy of Henry's life out, and his role as more sinned against than sinning in many parts of the film play. |

| | REVIEW Henry VIII |
| | If William Shakespeare had seen this production of his play, he might have rewritten it to have Henry VIII, instead of the Duke of Buckingham, beheaded early in Act I on grounds that Henry is an impostor. | | | As history, it's a whitewash of the brutal relatives of Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's patron, who is born at the end of the play and christened in a ridiculously florid tribute to the Renaissance she would soon oversee. | | | "Henry VIII" concentrates on a relatively limited portion of its subject's life, principally his decision to divorce Catherine (here called Katherine) to marry Anne Boleyn, the fall from grace of Cardinal Wolsey, and Henry's transformation of England from a Catholic to a Protestant country. |

| | Henry the eighth may sound like just another Shakespeare play to you but the advantage of this edition lies in the contemporary, elegant and witty commentary that proceeds it. | | | Believed to be Shakespeare's very last play, Henry VIII is probably best remembered as the play that, when performed in June 1613, led to the Globe Theatre burning down due to the fireworks and cannon fire listed in the stage directions. | | | Henry VIII deals with the intrigue that surrounds Henry's court, and in particular the controversial figure of Cardinal Wolsey, and Henry's separation from his wife Katherine and infatuation with Anne Bullen. |

| | Wolsey, however, endures a series of mishaps that expose him unflatteringly to King Henry. | | | Henry's argument is that Katherine is the widow of his brother, which makes the marriage one step removed from incest—never mind that Henry and Katherine have been wed for almost twenty years. | | | Most damning in Henry's eyes is Wolsey's meddling in his divorce proceedings: Wolsey, recognizing that Henry intends to marry Anne once Katherine is out of the way, has instructed the Pope to stay any decision on the matter. |

| | In terms of the purpose of the play, which is for Henrys and Annes daughter Elizabeth to come to the throne, his standing in the way of their marriage is reason enough why he has to go. | | | He says that the play cannot have pleased everyone in the audience, but is likely to please good women, who will approve of the portrayal of a good woman (Katherine), and that their men will have to follow in their applause. | | | She is, however, a potent force in the play, the grand purpose of which is to celebrate her birth and glorious reign. |

| | The editor of the Arden edition (1957) of Henry VIII, R A Foakes, notes in his introduction, The interaction of the characters, the machinations of Wolsey, the trials and falls are all presented in terms of movement, or more particularly of carrying and release from a burden, or of the motion of falling. | | | Caroline Spurgeon (Shakespeares Imagery, 1935) draws attention to the imagery of bodily movement in the play. | | | It is often violent, as if to give dynamism to a play with little physical action. |

| | The Henry VIII manuscript is a collection of music used at court that includes some of his own compositions. | | | Indeed, one explanation of the change in the early sixteenth century to a more modern style of church music from that prevalent through the reign of Henry VII (see The Conservatism of English Music after Dunstable) may be found in the chronicles and records of the time. | | | But one must also take into account the musical activities of Henry VIII himself, instrumentalist and composer of Masses, motets, and part-songs. |
