Christopher Marlowe’s Henry is a mock Renaissance tragedy based on the life of Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of King Henry VIII and one-time contender for the crown of England, Henry Fitzroy was married at 15, died at 17, and NEVER once consummated his marriage. A greater tragedy has yet to be written.

Christopher Marlowe’s Henry is not just a comedy about sex and erectile dysfunction written in blank verse. It is a story of a love that grows out of friendship. And it is a story of a love that turns to poison, as Anne Bolyen and her execution by her own husband play a prominent role in the plot. This play will have you laughing, crying, and thinking.
