About Event

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.

About the book: Boleyn Traitor

Her secrets shaped a kingdom​. Her loyalty was deadly.

Jane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor court. Where nothing is more powerful than a secret. And power rests on the edge of a tyrant king’s sword.​

She wears many masks – loving wife, devoted sister, and obedient spy. It’s what a woman must do to survive. ​

The only weapon she has is her voice.​

They say Jane’s whispers sealed the fate of two queens. They called her a liar and a traitor. ​

But the truth is far more dangerous… ​
