  • The King's Wife: a New Musical
    May 19 2024

    Today we are delighted to chat to the creators of a new musical, called The King’s Wife.

    These creators are Jamie Floyd, who wrote the music & lyrics and Mêlisa Anis who wrote the book.

    The musical takes place in Tudor England, between the battle of Flodden in 1513 and the death of Anne Boleyn in 1536.

    The musical looks at the women of the court of Henry VIII: their friendships, relationships, motherhoods, sisterhoods and everything in between. #herstory
