Wolf Hall: Parts 1 & 2 - 2015 - Broadway History , Info & More

Wolf Hall: Parts 1 & 2 are adapted by Mike Poulton from Hilary Mantel's double Man Booker Prize winning novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies (published Henry Holt in the U.S.). The plays are based on the deceit, betrayal, and intrigue of the court of Henry VIII. The production features a company of more than twenty actors, headed by Ben Miles as Thomas Cromwell, Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn, and Nathaniel Parker as King Henry VIII, all under the direction of Olivier Award nominee Jeremy Herrin, who makes his New York City directing debut. The Royal Shakespeare Company is appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Wolf Hall: Parts 1 & 2

Broadway’s ‘Wolf Hall’ is beautiful but boring
7 / 10

It's amazing that a story jampacked with lust, betrayal, greed and violence can be so .?.?. dull. As well-acted, grandly staged and beautifully lit as it is, the show still manages to be tedious...Miles is onstage almost the entire time, and his portrayal is sturdy and dependable. This is the Subaru of performances: extremely reliable, but not exactly a white-knuckle ride. Mike Poulton's adaptation...doesn't give Miles' Cromwell the chance to go all-out, mostly because it consists of people relaying the very exciting business that happened offstage...Either way, the British cast is technically adept. Nathaniel Parker, looking like a sturdier Jeremy Piven, barrels through the opposition as Henry, and Paul Jesson voraciously gobbles the scenery as the deposed Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. But the most pulse-quickening scenes in this overpolite pageant belong to the women, notably Lucy Briers' Katherine, seething in a Spanish accent, and Leonard's feisty, cunning Anne.

'Wolf Hall' theater review
6 / 10

Although full of intrigue and cruel twists of fate, 'Wolf Hall' is a stiff, step-by-step, plodding march through English history, leaving little space for character development. One-liners and broad jokes have been added in that inappropriately contradict the ominous tone. Given that Part Two is hardly the end of the King Henry saga, 'Wolf Hall' is incomplete as a narrative. Perhaps they should have waited for Mantel to finish all of her books before doing this onstage.
