Wolf Hall and The Mirror & the Ligh

Wolf Hall and The Mirror & the Ligh

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 & THE LIGHT brings to a triumphant close the Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning series WOLF HALL, based on Hilary Mantel’s peerless Booker Prize-winning series of novels.

With Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell, Damian Lewis as King Henry VIII, Kate Phillips as Jane Seymour, Lilit Lesser as Princess Mary, Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey, Harriet Walter as Lady Margaret Pole, Harry Melling as Thomas Wriothesley, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Rafe Sadler, Timothy Spall as the Duke of Norfolk, Alex Jennings as Stephen Gardiner and Charlie Rowe as Gregory Cromwell.

Eagerly awaited and years in the making, The Mirror and the Light will trace the final four years of Cromwell’s life, completing his journey from self-made man to the most feared, influential figure of his time. Cromwell is as complex as he is unforgettable: a politician and a fixer, a diplomat and a father, a man who both defied and defined his age.
