Henry VIII (play)

Henry VIII (1613) was one of William Shakespeare's last plays. An alternative title, All is True is recorded in contemporary documents, and the title Henry VIII does not appear until its publication in the First Folio of 1623. Stylistic evidence indicates that the play was written by Shakespeare in collaboration with his successor, John Fletcher. During one of the first performances, in 1613, a cannon shot used for special effects ignited the thatched roof of the Globe Theatre in London, burning down the original building.
