In this Thursday, May 15, 2014 photo, a scene from 'Bring up the Bodies' with Ben Miles as Thomas Cromwell, left, and Lydia Leonard as Anne Boleyn, right, during a media opportunity at the Aldwych Theatre in London. Hilary Mantel's Booker Prize-winning best-seller about deadly intrigue at the court of King Henry VIII will soon be a BBC series with Tony Award-winner Mark Rylance and "Homeland" star Damian Lewis. "Wolf Hall" and sequel "Bring Up the Bodies" have already been adapted into plays that plunge audiences into a world of murky Tudor machinations. As the plays move to London's West End after a rave-gathering run at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, Mantel said the characters' complex motives and shades of gray were key to the stories' adaptability.
