Auditions: The Other Boleyn Girl by Mike Poulton, based on the novel by Philippa Gregory.Saturday 21 February from 10am. Venue Toi Poneke. Production dates – 27 May to 6 June.
We are seeking a large cast of 19 named roles: 12 male & 7 female, plus non-speaking extras.
Based on Philippa Gregory’s internationally best-selling novel, The Other Boleyn Girl is a brilliant recreation of intrigue at the Tudor court – a racy and riveting drama of events that changed the course of English history. This stage adaptation by Mike Poulton was premiered at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2024.
The setting is 1521 - 1543 in the Court of King Henry VIII, and the Boleyn’s family home, Hever Castle. Henry VIII’s court is a stage for love and treachery, where the weapons of choice are sex, marriage, and the executioner’s axe. As Henry’s mistress, Mary Boleyn is a pawn in her family’s lust for power. Queen Katherine of Aragon hasn’t produced a male heir, and Mary’s ruthless uncle scents the chance of putting his niece on the throne. But Henry’s wandering eye has fallen on another: Mary’s headstrong sister, Anne, whose ambition not only threatens to destroy her bond with Mary and their brother George, but shakes the foundation of Church and State. Can Mary take charge of her own fate?
