A radio portrait of Anne Boleyn drawn from contemporary sources by ALISON PLOWDEN
In her lifetime Anne Boleyn was the 'other woman,' the home-wrecker, the Concubine or, more bluntly, that goggle-eyed woman or Nan Bullen.

This programme tries to find the real woman - tricky, elusive, defiant, ' wild for to hold though she seems tame.'
