One unique aspect of this production includes an antagonist who the audience never sees. The minimalist cast includes only the six ex-wives and a small selection of chorus. This historical remix features the following six main characters:

  • Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife whom he divorced
  • Anne Boleyn, beheaded
  • Jane Seymour, whom Henry loved but died giving him a child
  • Anna of Cleves, divorced
  • Katherine Howard, beheaded
  • Catherine Parr, survived!
