Regina Monologues, The

Regina Monologues, The
Five hundred years ago, six women married a bloke called Henry and passed into historical legend. This comedy Drama reveals the poignancy and relevance of their lives, re-told as the tale of six modern women who have also married one man. A moving and hilarious comedy-Drama which brings history bang up to date by reflecting the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII in a tale of six very real, very modern women.
