A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

About the show

Robert Bolt's acclaimed play explores one of England's most pivotal historical moments through the story of Sir Thomas More. When King Henry VIII seeks a divorce to marry Anne Boleyn, More—a scholar, ambassador, and Lord Chancellor—faces an impossible choice between loyalty to the monarch and adherence to his Catholic conscience. Rather than compromise his principles, More commits an act of extraordinary defiance that ultimately costs him his life. This production, which has enjoyed successful runs across the country and in the West End, returns with Martin Shaw in the title role, bringing to vivid life the powerful figures who shaped the nation.
