Anne Boleyn:  Wolf at the Door – A musical tale of Tudor love and tragedy.

Anne Boleyn:  Wolf at the Door

7.30pm Sat 3rd August in St Mary’s, Cerne Abbas

A musical tale of love and Tudor tragedy. Bob Whitley (guitars and mandola) and Lee MacKenzie ( baroque cello) take us back to the 16th Century and the story of the triumph and tragedy of Anne Boleyn.

Anne Boleyn holds King Henry VIII in thrall for six years and supplants Katherine of Aragon as Queen of England on the promise that she will bear King Henry a son and royal heir.  In a Tudor court of scheming courtiers, religious fervour and feuding families all are fighting for the King’s favour in a deadly battle of destinies and dynasties?

Anne Boleyn was executed three years before Cerne Abbey was dissolved.  We have arranged this performance to coincide with the Abbey Dig, and hope that it will give some useful background as we seek to understand the chaos that happened at that time.

Written and Composed by Bob Whitley
