Henry VIII has returned to the land of the living to discover he is exclusively remembered as that bloke with six wives. So there was only one thing for it. Henry is clearing his name in a musical drag extravaganza. Featuring parodies of songs by Meatloaf, Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran and more, this bonkers show explores the lesser known side of the Tudor king. Inspired by the drag performers of the Victorian Music Hall, melodramatic rock music and musical theatre, EIGHT is a parody musical written and performed by Hannah Clift.
