The Other Boleyn Girl Tickets at Chichester Festival Theatre

Philippa Gregory’s internationally best-selling novel, The Other Boleyn Girl is brought to life on stage by award-winning playwright Mike Poulton (Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, Uncle Vanya) and director Lucy Bailey (Witness for the Prosecution).

A brilliant recreation of intrigue at the Tudor court of Henry VIII –The Other Boleyn Girl is a racy and riveting drama of events that changed the course of English history.

Industry’s Freya Mavor is cast as Anne Boleyn, alongside Lucy Phelps (Much Ado About Nothing Shakespeare’s Globe) as her sister Mary, and Alex Kingston (Doctor Who, ER, The Tempest RSC) as Lady Elizabeth.

The Other Boleyn Girl runs from 19 April – 11 May at Festival Theatre, Chichester.

Henry VIII’s court is a stage for love and treachery, where the weapons of choice are sex, marriage, and the executioner’s axe. As Henry’s mistress, Mary Boleyn is a pawn in her family’s lust for power. Queen Katherine of Aragon hasn’t produced a male heir, and Mary’s ruthless uncle scents the chance of putting his niece on the throne.

But Henry’s wandering eye has fallen on another: Mary’s headstrong sister, Anne, whose ambition not only threatens to destroy her bond with Mary and their brother George, but shakes the foundation of Church and State. Can Mary take charge of her own fate?
