Wolf Hall & Bring up the Bodies
Rattles along like a spy thriller!
A Tudor triumph of comedy and tragedy
Gripping drama - a brilliant all-round epic
The year is 1527. King for almost 20 years, Henry has no male heir. While Catherine is determined to remain Queen, Henry obsesses about replacing her with a wife who can give him a son. In a highly dangerous and politically charged court, this could be a golden opportunity for a man with the tight talents. Enter Thomas Cromwell...
Mike Poulton's two-part adaptation of Hilary Mantel's acclaimed novels 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up the Bodies' is a thrilling and utterly convincing portrait of a brilliant man embroiled in the lethal, high-stakes politics of the court of King Henry VIII.
PART ONE: Wolf Hall - Cromwell sets out to achieve the King's desire whilst methodically and ruthlessly pursuing his own reforming agenda.
PART TWO: Bring Up the Bodies - Cromwell must negotiate within an increasingly perilous court to satisfy Henry, keep the nation safe and advance his own ambitions.
