Fixing the Last Henry Staged Readings @Crashbox
Rude Mechs Presents
When: November 16 & 23, 2019 at 5:00 p.m.Where: Crashbox, 5305 Bolm Rd #12, 78721
Tickets:Written by Kirk Lynn
Directed by Alexandra Bassiakou ShawThe fourth installment of our Fixing Shakespeare series. We take Shakespeare’s least-produced works and adapt them with our Rude cunning to share the raw power of what a Shakespeare play must have felt like on opening night. This time we’re tackling Henry VIII. How is it possible that even after eight Henrys, England could still think it was a good idea for a man to be king? Queen Katharine and Lady Anne Bullen have other ideas. Henry VIII was Shakespeare’s last play – in part because he burned his fucking theatre down during the production. (Maybe.)

“It would have taken me two years of focus groups to make being molested that funny.” —Young Jean Lee
