Tony Award-winning actor Mark RyIance (TweIfth Night) and Emmy and GoIden Globe Award-winner Damian Lewis (HomeIand) star in the miniseries adapted from HiIary ManteI's best-selIing Booker Prize-winning noveIs: WoIf HalI and its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies.
From humble beginnings and with an enigmatic past, Thomas CromweIl (RyIance) is the brilIiant consigliere to King Henry Vlll (Lewis). Told from CromweIl's perspective, WoIf Hall folIows the compIex machinations and back room deaIings of this pragmatic and accomplished power broker who must serve king and country while deaIing with deadIy politicaI intrigue, Henry VIIl's tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn (CIaire Foy, Little Dorrit), and the reIigious upheavaIs of the Protestant reformation.
A historicaI drama for a modern audience, this unromanticized re-teIling lifts the veil on the internal struggles England faced on the brink of Reformation. At the center of it aII is CromweII, navigating the moral complexities that accompany the exercise of power, trapped between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive. |
