Siena Kelly and Adam Hugill star together in '1536', a brand new play which opens tonight, Tuesday 6th May, at London's Almeida Theatre.
Siena plays one of three Essex women who gather in a field to gossip about the news from London as Anne Boleyn is tried for high treason. Adam Hugill also stars in the play and although no specifics have been released about his character it looks like he is in a relationship with Siena's character. The official synopsis reads "As these women realise the parallels between their ordinary, rural lives and the royal drama taking place at a distance, they are faced with several choices, all of which end in violence...this fiendishly smart and funny new play asks whether female solidarity can survive in a world where barbarism and misogyny are state sanctioned."

It is written by playwright Ava Pickett who won the 2024 Susan Smith Blackburn prize for female, transgender and non-binary playwrights. Pickett describes the plays as a "very funny and very angry" play about female friendship.
Until 7th June. Get tickets.
