Will Sommers finds the job of keeping Henry the Eighth amused almost impossible as the royal divorce goes through interminable delays. Will discovers a young barmaid called Jane in a Cheapside Tavern, entertaining the regulars. He thinks Jane could be the ideal companion and female jester for Anne Boleyn.

Will presents her at court as “Jane Fool,” and she becomes an instant success. He has also secretly fallen in love with her. Thomas Cromwell, however, sees Jane as the perfect stooge to enact Anne’s downfall.

“Funny, clever and brilliantly performed.”
“Splendid book, music, singing, dancing, and acting”
