It&#8217;s a comic romp that at times achieves palpable poignancy.&#8217; &#8211; <strong>Kansas City Star<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His Majesty does not have syphilis. He wants to make that quite clear.  And as for the wives &#8211; there were perfectly good reasons why they had to go. And if we&#8217;re asking the awkward questions, Henry has one for us &#8211; where is God? Henry has been waiting 468 years to meet God and he&#8217;s<br \/>\nrunning out of patience. The 16th century King meets a 21st Century audience. Heads will roll.<\/p>\n<p>This new show from a multi-award-winning team was a sell out with added dates at Brighton Fringe and won a standing ovation for every performance at Kansas City International Theatre Festival. The highly flexible staging means it can fit in any space and is ideally suited to rural touring.<\/p>\n<p>Written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundrygroup.co.uk\/?page_id=715\">Ross Gurney-Randall<\/a> and Pete Howells.
