A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt
A Man for All Seasons , which charts the dramatic events leading to the execution of Sir Thomas More in 1535, has been a modern stage classic since its first production in 1960. In this tense play of conscience, Thomas More, Lord Chancellor of England enters into political and moral conflict with King Henry VIII when he refuses to support the King's move to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon. More's decision to endorse the divine right of the Pope over and above that of his King leads to his unwilling martyrdom and tragic downfall.
