HOWARD Coggins looks like Henry VIII. Stu Mcloughlin doesn’t really look like any of the wives, but he is going to give it a go in Porlock on Friday (November 3).

The Six Wives of Henry VIII was an undisputed hit at the Bristol Old Vic,

Salisbury Playhouse and the Edinburgh Fringe. With live original music,

embroidery, Barbie dolls, silly songs and historical hysteria, it is “an ill-researched lesson in cross-dressing Tudor history”.

Arranged by Take Art, the performance is at Porlock Village Hall at 7.30pm – but we are informed that the show has sold out.
