A Man for All Seasons dramatises the conflict between King Henry
VIII and Sir Thomas More. It depicts the confrontation between
church and state, theology and politics, absolute power and
individual freedom. Throughout the play Sir Thomas More's eloquence
and endurance, his purity, saintliness and tenacity in the face of
ever-growing threats to his beliefs and family, earn him status as
one of modern drama's greatest tragic heroes. The play was first
staged in 1960 at the Globe Theatre in London and was voted New
York's Best Foreign Play in 1962. In 1966 it was made into an
Academy Award-winning film by Fred Zinneman starring Paul
Scofield."A Man for All Seasons is a stark play, sparse in its
narrative, sinewy in its writing, which confirms Mr Bolt as a
genuine and solid playwright, a force in our awakening theatre."
