"Every so often the huge double doors at the back of the stage open to reveal a golden splendour of raiment and ornament that director Gregory Doran uses as ironic contrast to the shabby, treacherous court." David Nathan, Jewish Chronicle 6.12.96 Opening Date: 26 November 1996, Swan Theatre.

This production recaptured some of the elaborate staging of the original Shakespeare production of 1613. Other Henry VIII pictures are at Gallery 2.17-22, Gallery 3.15-18, and Gallery &.4-12. HMR
