The Story

The contemporary reinterpretation of King Henry VIII's six wives, transformed into divas, had its modest inception in 2017 during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was conceived by a group of Cambridge students with a deep passion for history. The inspiration for the show initially emerged in a poetry class. In preparation for the production, one member, Marlow, delved into Antonia Fraser's The Six Wives of Henry VIII, while another, Moss, immersed themselves in Lucy Worsley's documentary series, Six Wives, as part of their research.

Really enjoyed 'Six" - a witty, hi-octane performance by a truly savvy cast of Queens! It's a wonderfully written piece thats been imaginatively produced for The Westend. The women are nothing short of magnificent. My eye was particular taken by Catherine Parr (Hannah Lowther). A superb show, and a wonderful night out in Theatreland.

Everything about the theatre venue was terrific. My family just didn't enjoy the actual performance like we thought we would. A lot of the modern references and language (e.g. references to hashtags and Gen Z phrases) felt forced and bordered on cheesy, and the way the audience was encouraged to stand and engage at the end felt self-congratulatory. We’ve never seen a performance where the performers stage their own standing ovation. We can appreciate that Six probably attempts to reach a totally different audience, but our kids are theatre kids and the show just didn't resonate. I think we prefer more traditional shows.
