Anne Boleyn's Mother

Friday 11th September 7.30pm Tickets from £10 We are delighted to be welcoming Gleowit Productions and the wonderful Heather Leech back to Consett Heart with the one woman show "Anne Boleyn's Mother" Book your ticket here: www.ticketsource.com/consett-heart-heritage-arts-centre It's the final instalment of a trio of plays featuring women who figure in the centre of English history and whose voices have never before been heard. Wednesday 13th October 1537 another ordinary day except a new queen, Jane, has given birth to a son - an achievement beyond compare in Henry VIII’s court. Elizabeth, Countess of Wiltshire keenly feeling the loss of her son George and her daughter Anne, previous queen of England, struggles to find cause for celebration even though she fully understands the treachery that is within the English court. On the path to greatness her losses have been heavy, were they worth it? She is Anne Boleyn’s mother and grandmother to the motherless future Queen Elizabeth I. Please note this event takes place in our upstairs theatre space which is accessed by a staircase and a seated chairlift and is not accessible by wheelchair.

More about Greencroft

Durham, England

Greencroft in Durham sits quiet enough to hear a bird sing at breakfast, yet it still manages to pack a surprising punch for local culture. Without needing a single venue name to carry the weight, the town hosts plenty of markets and community gatherings that keep neighbours connected. It is a place where you can find your weekend without hunting through a dozen different screens. Pub nights and street fairs pop up regularly to break up the usual routine. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you do not have to waste time scrolling on a Sunday evening.
