Plot introduction:
A handsome and charming young star was tired of marriage and worried about having no children all day, so he chose to have fun and be bohemian-if this reminds you of Star Companion, then adjust your historical coordinates and move forward for 500 years. Give you some restrictions-this young man's name is Henry VIII, his first wife is Princess Catherine of Spain, his friends are Bishop Worthy and Knight Thomas Moore, and his mistress is anne boleyn, the biological mother of Elizabeth I.
Does this sound familiar?
He is paranoid and wants to kill his wife.
Unlike the impression people get from history books about the obese Henry VIII, if there were tabloids in16th century, he would definitely be the cover star of every issue.
For the ordinary audience who like the more interesting side of history, there is no more suitable candidate than the young Henry VIII. He is a dazzling but dangerous rock star. He was smart and charming, and later became a paranoid, trying to kill his wife and married six wives for his children. It's really a good thing to expose him and his time through the entertainment circle, because it was the worst period of scandal in British history. "It was a sexy time. Violence and beauty cannot be surpassed. " Michael hearst, the playwright of Tudor Dynasty and the Golden Age, said, "Henry ruined English history by falling in love with a woman."
As coquettish anne boleyn constantly incited Henry to divorce his first wife Catherine, Henry wavered between Catherine's Catholicism and Anne's Protestantism, and the belief of the whole country was also influenced by the despot's desire.
He is a clever intellectual.
The Tudor dynasty is not a desperate "palace housewife" or the White House. "At that time, the political climate did not have any favorable impression on intellectuals, but the Tudor family was the most educated group in the history of the British royal family. Henry even wrote a book in Latin. " Charles Bing, a professor of history at the University of North Carolina, said.
Not only that, but Henry's clever friends also have keen eyes. For example, Bishop Worthy, played by Sam Nell, is a surprising positive figure for modern audiences-he is a workaholic, not the corrupt and behind-the-scenes politician described before. Sir Thomas Moore is also a humanitarian. The two assistants persuaded the hardliner Henry to pull Britain back from the brink of war with France and wisely attributed the credit for concluding a peace treaty to the monarch. "Your Majesty, you will go down in history as the founder of the new world." Bishop Worthy said.
Miles plays Henry VIII and natalie dormer plays anne boleyn.
His image is brand new.
This play fully shows the beauty of that era, and sometimes it is even more embellished. Henry's turtleneck fur coat will greatly attract people's love. Anne boleyn has always been described as an ordinary-looking woman in history, but natalie dormer wears dazzling jewels, revealing more than half of her breasts, which makes her beautiful and lovely. Hearst said that 85% of the plots in this play are historical truth, but through humanized expression, "we will make them more real."
Jonathan Les Myers, 29, performed when Henry was a diplomatic envoy. At that time, he was almost as handsome as the sexiest man selected by People magazine today. And this Irish actor who won the Golden Globe Award has a sexy and elegant appearance that can show Henry. "I can intuitively feel that Jonathan is very similar to Henry in many ways." Hearst said: "They all feel that there is nothing they can't do." This temperament enables Jonathan to ride a horse with a huge spear and speak five languages as fluently as Henry. "I didn't think Henry was like this before," Jonathan said. He changed his mind after doing a lot of research: "But I realized how he profoundly changed the aesthetics and culture of his country and how he changed the fate of the whole of Europe."
