The setting is Whitehall Palace in the spring of 1535. The air is thick with tension following a furious argument between King Henry and Queen Anne over her failure to produce a son. After Anne flees, the enraged King bursts into a chamber where Guest, a member of the court, is present. In the silent, terrified room, the King's gaze falls upon Guest and lingers for a long moment before he departs without a word. This intense, unspoken encounter places Guest directly in the path of the powerful king and his desperate quest for an heir.
