Por qué importa
The play 1536 reimagines the Tudor era through the lens of working-class women, highlighting timeless themes of misogyny and female solidarity.
As rumours spread that Anne Boleyn, the English queen, is about to be executed, three working-class women in Essex sit around drinking, gossiping and wondering what it all means for them. That's the premise of 1536, the Tudor-set play that has arrived in London's West End with backing from Hollywood star Margot Robbie. [...] London Theatre praised the play in its four-star review and said "it is decidedly modern in its outlook, colloquial speech, and, most potently, impact". The theatre website went on to say the play highlights how "we are still grappling with many of the same issues: gendered hypocrisy, slut-shaming, the corrosive danger of misinformation and mob mentality".
