Courtesy of BBC/HBO Ava Pickett’s West End play “1536” is being adapted for television.
HBO and the BBC are set to co-produce the six-episode series, which follows the lives of three working class women in Tudor England against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s failing relationship with Anne Boleyn.
“A darkly comic and terrifyingly relevant story about friendship, sisterhood, and a changing world, ‘1536’ explores how the actions of a man in power changes the fate of working-class women on the edges of the country,” reads the logline. “It asks if a king can murder his queen, what does that mean for women elsewhere and how much have things really changed?”
