A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

SEPT 13 - 22, 2024

 a MAINSTAGE production

Written by Robert Bolt

Directed by Jeff Glickman

A Man For All Seasons is a captivating historical drama originally set in 16th-century England during the reign of King Henry VIII. This production will transport the story to the Cold War era, offering a unique perspective on the timeless themes of morality and political struggle.

The play delves into the moral and political challenges faced by Sir Thomas More, a devout Catholic and loyal subject of the King. As Henry VIII, driven by his desire to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, clashes with the Catholic Church, he demands unwavering loyalty from his subjects.

Amidst the political turmoil of the mid-20th century, More refuses to endorse Henry's divorce and breaks with the Pope, citing his conscience and principles. Despite pressure from friends, family, and the King, Moore remains steadfast in his beliefs, ultimately leading to his downfall.
