Henry VIII

Read this famed play written by William Shakespeare (and perhaps helped by John Fletcher) on the life of King Henry VIII. The play is thought to have been first performed at the Globe Theatre in London in 1613, and perhaps was even the cause of the great fire that destroyed the structure due to the misfiring of a prop canon during one of the scenes. This edition includes a wonderful introduction to the play with critical commentary that is such to enrich the reader's enjoyment.
