Henry VIII
Period written: 1612-1613
Known first performance: June 29, 1613 (Globe Theatre, London)

Otherwise known as All is True, this play may have been co-authored by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher.

The play depicts the relationship between Henry VIII of England, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Cardinal Wolsey. One of the play's most famous lines is Anne Boleyn's reflection that "'Tis better to be lowly born [...] / Than to be perk'd up in a glistering grief, / And wear a golden sorrow" (II.iii).
