First, the treacherous exploits of Henry¿s influential advisor, Cardinal Wolsey, then Henry¿s desire to divorce his wife Katherine and his controversial marriage to Anne Bullen (Boleyn). Its performance at the Globe in 1613 resulted in the burning down of the theatre¿s original structure due to the real cannon fire that took place as stated in the stage directions.
