The Winchester Goose: at the Court of Henry VIII

The Winchester Goose: at the Court of Henry VIII

Tudor London: 1540. Each night, after dark, men flock to Bankside seeking girls of easy virtue; prostitutes known as The Winchester Geese. Joanie Toogood has worked the streets of Southwark since childhood but her path is changed forever by an encounter with Francis Wareham, a spy for the Kingâ€™s secretary, Thomas Cromwell.

Meanwhile, across the River, at the glittering court of Henry VIII, Wareham also sets his cap at Evelyn and Isabella Bourne, members of the Queenâ€™s household and the girls, along with Joanie, are drawn into intrigue and the shadow of the executionerâ€™s blade.

Set against the turmoil of Henry VIIIâ€™s middle years, The Winchester Goose provides a brand new perspective of the happenings at the royal court, offering a frank and often uncomfortable observation of life at both ends of the social spectrum.
