Wolf Hall & The Mirror and the Light - DVD

BASED ON HILARY MANTEL'S BEST-SELLING TRILOGY OF NOVELS

WOLF HALL

Wolf Hall presents an intimate portrait of Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance), the brilliant consigliere to King Henry VIII (Damian Lewis), as he manoeuvres the corridors of power at the Tudor court.

Directed by BAFTA Award-Winner Peter Kosminsky, this powerful series follows the complex machinations and back room dealings of Cromwell – a pragmatic and accomplished power broker, from humble beginnings and with an enigmatic past.

Cromwell serves king and country while navigating deadly political intrigue, the King’s tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy) and the religious upheavals of the Protestant reformation.

THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT

May, 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead. As the axe drops, Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance) emerges from the bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master Henry (Damien Lewis) settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour (Kate Phillips).

Now, with no great family to back him, no private army, and only his wits to rely on, Cromwell must navigate the dangerous court of a most unpredictable king.
