As rumours spread that Anne Boleyn, the English queen, is about to be executed, three working-class women in Essex sit around drinking, gossiping and wondering what it all means for them.

That's the premise of 1536, the Tudor-set play that has arrived in London's West End with backing from Hollywood star Margot Robbie.

The Barbie actor tells the BBC she first heard about the project years ago, when it was just a script "and everyone was telling me I'd be obsessed with it, and they were right".

Written by Ava Pickett, the play reimagines one of the most famous moments in British history not through royalty or court politics, but through the eyes of ordinary women navigating fear, friendship and a world becoming increasingly hostile towards women.

Despite being set almost 500 years ago, many of the themes feel strikingly familiar.
