[THE LIFE OF KING HENRY THE EIGHTH ] . Henry VIII is a cooperative history play, composed by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, in light of the existence of Henry VIII. An elective title, All Is True, is kept in contemporary records, with the title Henry VIII holding off on showing up until the play's distribution in the First Folio of 1623. Expressive proof demonstrates that singular scenes were composed by one or the other Shakespeare or his partner and replacement, John Fletcher. It is likewise to some degree normal for the late sentiments in its construction. It is noted for having more stage bearings than any of Shakespeare's different plays. During a presentation of Henry VIII at the Globe Theater in 1613, a cannon shot utilized for embellishments touched off the theater's covered rooftop (and the bars), setting the first Globe building ablaze.
