Henry VIII Audiobook (Free)

Ruler Henry is married to Katherine of Aragon, but he has been smitten from the charms from the queen’s maid of honor, Anne Bullen, and it is tempted to divorce his dignified and noble wife.

In the mean time, the lords of Britain resent the influence of Henry’s trusted consultant, Cardinal Wolsey, who is gradually drawing power into his own hands. As Katherine and Wolsey suffer their tragic falls, fresh figures rise to fill their places, but they, as well, will become brought low by the inexorable sweep of your time and fortune.

This colorful history play, possibly written in collaboration with John Fletcher, comes from the very end of Shakespeare’s dramatic career.

Paul Jesson has Henry VIII, and Jane Lapotaire takes on Queen Katherine. Timothy West is Cardinal Wolsey.
