Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Tara Travis—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

Resurrected from Winnipeg Fringe 2012, Tara Travis returns to Winnipeg Fringe as part of Monster Theatre’s 25th Anniversary celebrations this year.

Travis is remarkable as she transforms between the 6 wives of the monarch. Periodically, they all (or most of them anyway) plunk down to be introduced to the audience, and each other. You don’t need a history book to keep up with the drama or the timelines… Her physicality creates an approachable and hilarious introduction to this crew of dames arguing over who gets Henry for eternity.

Self proclaimed as a creative chameleon, Tara Travis carries this tale with regal stamina and endurance as she transforms into each royal role.

Part history. Part her stories. All Fringe.
