About Conflict Between Church & State'- An Audience with King Henry VIII - The Milton Rooms
The sister show to 'Divorced, Beheaded Died'
Of this show, Conflict of Church & State , it has been said:
. a bravura performance as an aged (and lame) Henry VIII. This is Henry, at once dangerous and yet tinged with regret. There is humour and pathos here, as well as convincing menace. Not to be missed! The Very Revd Chris Dalliston, Dean of Peterborough Cathedral

Jack Abbot A performer who has specialised in recreating historical characters for in excess of 25 years, has appeared at numerous heritage, educational, and corporate venues across the UK and the USA; including many managed by the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Scotland, and other such bodies.
As the holder of a Performers Contract at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and at Historic Jamestown (both Virginia, USA), he frequently performs at various of their properties.
Additionally, he holds a Performers Contract, issued by The Royal Collections Trust (on behalf of The Royal Household), performing within Windsor Castle; the only performer to hold such a contract!
Of the 30 or more 'characters' he performs, 'Henry VIII' is the most popular. First created as a one-man show, over 12 years ago, the show has gone through a number of revisions and, now, is offered as a theatrical experience in which the audience comes face-to-face with the King!
The 'King' breaks the 'fourth wall' in that he directly refers to the audience who, at the close, are invited to ask questions ......a lively Q & A session often ensues with there being some surprising answers!
Presented by Select Society - a company which, for in excess of 25 years, has provided historical performance 'services' to the UK heritage industry - English Heritage, National Trust, Historic Scotland, and numerous museums, castles, and associated venues, in the UK and the USA; and to educational, corporate, social, and theatrical venues; as well as Film, TV, Theatre, and Radio productions.
Written by John White, who has considerable experience, over many years, in both writing and producing a wide range of historically-themed shows, at heritage and educational venues; and as a performer, advisor, and technical consultant, has worked on, and appeared, in numerous Film, TV, Theatre, and Radio productions, for well in excess of 25 years!
