**Monologues of the Six Wives of Henry VIII **

These six engaging monologues bring to life the voices of the six wives of Henry VIII, offering a fresh and powerful perspective on Tudor history. Each wife tells her own story, reflecting on her marriage, her fate, and her relationship with the infamous king. Designed for use in drama, history, or English lessons, these monologues give students the chance to explore characterisation, historical empathy, and performance skills.

From Catherine of Aragon’s quiet strength to Anne Boleyn’s bold defiance, Jane Seymour’s loyalty to Anne of Cleves’ cleverness, and from Catherine Howard’s youthful regret to Catherine Parr’s resilience, each speech captures the emotion, personality and historical significance of the woman behind the crown.

Perfect for pupils aged 6-10, these monologues can be performed individually, as a set piece, or used as stimulus for devising and discussion. They offer a creative and meaningful way to bring the Tudor period to life on stage or in the classroom.
