This compelling one-woman play gives voice to Elizabeth, Countess of Wiltshire, as she confronts unimaginable loss and reflects on her family’s turbulent place in Tudor history.

Set on 13 October 1537, a son is finally born to King Henry VIII by his wife, Jane Seymour. But Elizabeth finds herself unable to rejoice, grieving the deaths of her son George and her daughter Anne, the former queen of England, at the hands of the king’s courtly intrigues.

The play explores the emotional toll of motherhood, legacy and ambition against the backdrop of treacherous royal politics, questioning whether the heavy price paid for her family’s rise was worth it.
