His Henry first appears loud and brash, as though he might be more at home in a tavern than at the court. He is volatile, and quick to anger, yet at key moments he is also mesmerizingly still and stately.<\/p>\n<p>When he claims he is tormented by conscience about his marriage to Queen Katherine &#8211; his late brother&#8217;s wife &#8211; his anguish, if not necessarily the reasoning, is believable. As he considers the possibility that he may not produce a male heir, he comes across slightly unhinged in a way that foreshadows his tumultuous future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congratulations to the entire cast and crew for their fantastic work.
