We've just had an email from Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival regarding one of their productions which they thought would be of interest to our members, "The Moot Virginity of Catherine of Aragon". Here are the details:

‘All this? All Europe, all undone?… and for what? A son?’
As Europe prepares to split, this edgy new Northern Irish company looks back to another event that tore the country in two – the divorce of England’s Spanish queen. Part recitation, part song-cycle, this music-theatre first charts the memories of a mis-remembered woman.

Tudor Society members Ceri Creffield reviewed the production when she went to see it in Cardiff and you can click here to read her review.
I’m so glad this is being staged again. It would be interesting to hear some other opinions.
