Ava Pickett’s 1536 Announced for the BBC

We’re delighted to announce our upcoming BBC series 1536 by the wonderful Ava Pickett (How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, The Great) and to be bringing this extraordinary play to the screen.

A darkly comic and terrifyingly relevant story about friendship, sisterhood and a changing world, 1536 explores how the actions of a man in power changes the fate of working-class women on the edges of the country. It asks if a King can murder his Queen, what does that mean for women elsewhere and how much have things really changed?
