Why I chose this play

“The success of The Last Wife proved that there is a huge interest in Kate Hennig's work. I love the way that she has demystified the story of the Tudor women without losing any of the delicious intrigue of the period”

The Ottawa Public Library and GCTC have come together in a special partnership to help you explore the themes and topics raised in each play during GCTC’s 2018-2019 season.

OPL’s Readers’ Advisory staff have read the scripts for each of the plays, and recommended resources to further the exploration of their themes. The resources will only add to the experience of seeing the show, and can be explored before or after being part of the audience.
