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 \u003ci\u003eHenry VIII\u003c\/i\u003e, in this new translation by Caridad Svich, is a swift-moving, complex tale of intrigue. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eHenry VIII\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866987738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136","brand":"William Shakespeare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993076080821,"sku":"9780866987738","price":8.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fa4074a6-de16-4234-a557-d4d8bad45054.jpg?v=1648523197","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/henry-viii-9780866987738","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
