Bea von Malchus - Henry VIII
He was a fatty and a great sportsman, a Bluebeard and a sensitive composer, addicted to gambling and deeply religious. He broke with Rome and thought Luther was a sewer rat. Two of his six wives lost their heads to him! - 12 of his ministers did the same to their wives.
He waged bloody wars and wrote the most beautiful love letters of his time. He ate, drank, whored and killed and wanted nothing more than a son. He was the King of England and Elizabeth I was his daughter. He was Henry the Eighth.
Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to England! The year is 1599 and Elizabeth I. is lying on her couch with a toothache, at her feet: William Shakespeare. He is presenting his latest play to the Queen. It's about her father: Henry VIII. "Is it to weep, Shakespeare, or to laugh?" "Both, Your Majesty, both!" The new
comedic solo by Bea von Malchus takes the audience back to the Renaissance.
"Bea von Malchus achieves a small masterpiece in her audience abduction to the court of Henry the Eighth. An exciting, touching and funny history lesson that you won't soon forget." SÜDKURIER
