An Evening with Philippa Gregory

Join Philippa Gregory, as she takes you on a journey through the history you thought you knew. In her new novel, Boleyn Traitor, she returns to the Tudor court and a woman famously branded as a traitor, but whose real story was far more complex – the mysterious Jane Boleyn. Bringing the Boleyn traitor out of the shadows, this is an explosive story of one woman’s survival in the deadly dance of the Tudor Court. It will be a fascinating evening of entertaining historical insight and unforgettable storytelling.
