Dramatic Duologues: Four Short Plays in Verse
Excerpt from Dramatic Four Short Plays in Verse
The scene is an ante-chamber in the palace. Henry is seated so that the full, red seriousness of his gross and power ful face fronts the audience. His hands are upon his knees which he occasionally pats while meditating. He is mum bling to himself, moving his lips as he does so. Ann enters in anxiety, almost terror, and nearly ready to give away to tears. Henry does not turn his head or notice her.

The Henry VIII & Ann Boleyn dialogue is quite good, but has some quite startling historical errors (Henry to marry Lady Jane Grey?)
