Theater Talk

Wolf Hall

We focus on Wolf Hall, the two-part stage adaptation of Dame Hilary Mantel's brilliant historical novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies about the fickle and spoiled Henry VIII, King of England, ambitious chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, who facilitated Henry's disposing of his wives, acts which in turn resulted in a profound change in the history of the Western World. Our guests are Dame Hilary, actors Ben Miles (Thomas Cromwell) and Nathaniel Parker (King Henry VIII) plus director Jeremy Herrin who discuss the lives and undoing of the characters in this gripping drama, now on Broadway.
