Karen Gillan to Play Queen Mary Tudor in Period Comedy ‘Fools,’ Altitude Launching in Berlin
Karen Gillan, Jim Broadbent, Patsy Ferran and Brenda Blethyn will star in period comedy 'Fools,' being launched in Berlin by Altitude
Karen Gillan(“Avengers Endgame,” “Jumanji”) is set to lead the cast “Fools,” a historic comedy exploring the little known story of Mary Tudor and the friendship with her female court jester. Set in the 16th century in the aftermath of Henry VIII’s death, “Fool” follows England’s first queen Mary I (Gillan) as she takes the throne in a divided country on the brink of chaos. The pious and apparently humourless queen finds Jane’s brilliant slapstick routines uproariously funny, and they strike up a genuine friendship, the comedy lightening Mary’s mood in the darkest of times, and helping fend off Pole’s murderous manipulation.
