The Last Wife
September 7, 2023 - October 2, 2023
Kate Parr is smart, confident and passionate: a rising star in a world of intense competition. But her obliga-tory marriage to Henry is rife with the threat of violence and the lure of deceit. A contemporary retelling of the compelling relationship between Katherine Parr and Henry VIII, The Last Wife is a funny, powerful examination of patriarchy, sexual politics and women’s rights.
