The story
1536 play unfolds in Essex as three women gather to trade rumours about the growing rift between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

As whispers sharpen into threats, the women face their own reckoning in a world where royal decisions can upend ordinary lives. With each revelation tightening the stakes, the question becomes how far loyalty, love, and self-preservation can stretch before something breaks.
