A Man of All Seasons April 13, 2007

Henry VIII needs an heir, but his wife, Catherine of Aragon, is not producing one. Henry has also strayed beyond his marriage bed, falling into the arms of Anne Boleyn. Conveniently, his wife's barrenness is a perfect excuse for him to divorce and remarry. But the King faces obstacles; the church and people of his country must bless his choice. To garner their blessings he turns to Sir Thomas More, a scholar and churchman of great wisdom and honor. More must choose between his integrity and certain death. Robert Bolt's 'A Man for All Seasons,' won a Tony and inspired an award-winning film; it is a compelling study of the relationship between two powerful men and of one man and his conscience.
