About the Show

Would you defy a king? In A Man for All Seasons, Robert Bolt shares an often-overlooked point of view on the divorce of King Henry VIII: that of the average person. When the King realizes that his Queen, Katherine of Aragon, cannot produce an heir to his throne, he sets out to procure a divorce. But as a man of his word and Lord Chancellor of England, Sir Thomas More greatly opposes the proposal. Will he defend his moral values? Or will he give in to the unholy actions of the king? Find out in this historical tale of ambition, integrity, and principles–told from the Common Man’s perspective.
