THEATRE PREVIEW

AUGUST 2023 | Volume 230

 

Kate Parr is smart, confident and passionate: a rising star in a world of intense competition. But her obligatory marriage to Henry is rife with the threat of violence and the lure of deceit. A contemporary retelling of the compelling relationship between Katherine Parr and Henry VIII, The Last Wife is a funny, powerful examination of patriarchy, sexual politics, and women’s rights.

The Last Wife stars Courtney Shields as Kate and Matthew Bissett as Henry VIII, with Lauren Alberico, Mehdi Lamrini, Junita Thiessen and Rickie Wang. It is directed by Laura McLean, with set design by Ryan Cormack, costume design by Sydney Cavanagh, lighting design by Hina Nishioka, sound design/composer Daniel Tessy, props by Joan Bryans, Josina de Bree & Barbara Walsh, with technical direction by Kezi Jacob and stage management by Maria Denholm, and is produced by Joan Bryans.

The Last Wife runs at the Jericho Arts Centre from Sept 8 – Oct 1, Thursday to Saturday at 8 pm, Sunday at 2 pm. Performances will be available in person only. 

Talkbacks: After the show on Thursday Sept 14 and Sunday Sept 17.
