About This Event
Join us for a very special screening of our 2023 community production of C.J. Sansom’s
Sovereign.
Lawyer Matthew Shardlake and his assistant Jack Barak await the arrival of Henry VIII who is travelling to York in spectacular style to display his power and ‘sort out’ the northern rebels. When the murder of a York glazier plunges Shardlake into a deep mystery which threatens the Tudor dynasty itself, he must work against time to avert a terrifying chain of events.
Told through the voices of the people of York and featuring a large local cast and choir with hundreds more volunteers helping out backstage.
The original production was set outdoors in the grounds of the historic King’s Manor – this is a live screening of a filmed performance from 2023.
The screening is free but we welcome donations to our
‘I Love Community Theatre’
fund which helps us to continue to make accessible, community theatre for all.
