What to look for: Definitely director Joe Gfaller's decision to score the play to Carl Orff's lush Carmina Burana. Just as the play revolves around a "confusion between the sacred and profane", the Carmina Burana has some of the most profane lyrics performed to what sounds like medieval church music. Look out too for the inventiveness of new scenes added to give more depth to Henry VIII's court and life.
