Katherine P:Survived

I had a little nut tree

nothing would it bare

but a silver nutmeg

and a golden pare

The king of Spain's daughter came to visit me

and all for the sake

of my little nut tree.

(Pause for entrance)

Her dress was made of crimson,

Golden was her hair,

she asked me for my nut tree

and my golden pear

I said “ so fair a princess

never did I see

Ill give you all the fruit

from my little nut tree

Scene 6 starts

Alas, my love, you do me wrong. to cast me off discourteously, For I have loved you well and long. delighting in your company.

Henry D - I will divorce catherine

But she loved me, she was one of the few people in my life who truly loved me, for twenty years I loved her too, until I hated her.

Henry D - Why wont she grant me the divorce I crave. I am the King!

You were also her husband.

Henry D - her insubordination… Her daughter.

My Mary. My child.

Henry D - No woman shall ever define me again!

There it is. That was the moment... Right there. That was the start of it. Why did I not see? Oh God Why did I not see!? All my life I had a choice between love and hate. From that moment on, I chose hate… And here I am.

Jane and gossips surround me

No, I will not listen to you. Why will you not leave me in peace?

Jane S: Her desperation for a son has pushed her to undertake extreme measures

Why must you torment me?

Jane S: The Queen, Anne Boleyn. (Whispers) Your wife.

No! Get off me , wretch! I don’t want to see it anymore. I don’t want to remember it anymore. Ever again.

Fool: Oh come on Henry it’just a walk down memory lane.

Enough! I cant see Anne again. I don’t want to relive it.

Fool: Its Anne’s turn. You must learn, do not spurn.

Oh God, I truly loved Anne. A pain so raw, it ate at the very base of my soul. I was bewitched by her, by her beauty; by the desire to make her my own. I was like a man possessed. The sacrifices I made not only my own family, but to england. When I finally had her I expected so much, but then she gave me a daughter and I felt my world closing in on me.

Gossips: Shes a witch.

She promised me a son, but yet another was born dead. My sons kept, dying. Where was my son? The realization hit me. Catherine was right, I was cursed. I hated Anne. I wanted her to suffer.

Fool: But Janes life was the price that was paid for the boy.

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my Lady Greensleeves

Henry: I must rid myself of Anne.

Poor Anne, she was about to have her world ripped from her.

Henry: She is headstrong and argumentative.

But she was wise and right. How often was she right? I should have seen. I should have known.

Henry: She does not understand my authority

Do you not understand her heart.

Henry:I do want want her lingering near like catherine, waiting to die.

So I decided to hasten that process. I was the King and I had ultimate power…It didn’t matter… The truth, the lies. None of it. She didn't matter. she wast dust to me. I wanted her out! Immediately! Oh Anne, what did I do to you?

Henry: My kingdom for a boy

Her life for a boy.

Henry follows Kathryn off stage. Spot on me.

My men were clothed in green

and they did ever wait on thee

all this was gallant to be seen

and thou wouldst not love me

Henry’s torn IV starts after The Letter.

I had no choice. Kathryn had betrayed me so totally, so publicly. I simply could not let her get away with it. I could not let her live.

She will regret oh how she will regret.

Adultery when married to the king is treason, as you are not just betraying the King, you are betraying the country. Kathryn was doomed.
