WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Three-time Tony Award winner Frank Langella stars in a revival of Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons, directed by Doug Hughes.
This classic drama is a timeless exploration of politics, religion and power, based on the fascinating true story of English Chancellor Sir Thomas More and his moral objection to King Henry VIII's plan to leave the Catholic Church.

- - with his consummate portrayal of Sir Thomas More in Doug Hughes' sturdy revival of Robert Bolt's Tony-winning 1961 play A Man for All Seasons, now at the Roundabout's American Airlines Theatre.
Even with an actor of Langella's stature (or Paul Scofield's, who won both the Tony and later the Oscar for his portrayal of More), this nearly-three hour talkfest can admittedly be tough sledding for some, as it favors intellectual debate over action and phil[...]
