Review: "1536" at The Ambassadors Theatre – A Timeless Tale of Power and Treason

On 13 May 1536, Anne Boleyn’s household is broken up ahead of her going on trial for treason. On 13 May 2026, Ava Pickett’s play 1536 continues performances in its new West End home. 490 years may feel like a long time, but just how much has actually changed? Set against the backdrop of Anne Boleyn’s catastrophic fall from grace, three women try to navigate through life in an increasingly misogynistic Tudor village.
