A Man For All Seasons Tickets

It broke records on tour, selling like wildfire. Now Theatre Royal Bath’s acclaimed production of Robert Bolt’s 1960 classic A Man For All Seasons, with Martin Shaw in the starring role, hits the Harold Pinter Theatre running for just 38 performances. Shaw plays one of the most influential and dangerous men in England, bringing his role in history to startling life, and Jonathan Church beautifully directs the drama.

What is A Man For All Seasons about?

Martin Shaw portrays Sir Thomas More, the hugely popular scholar, Catholic, family man, ambassador and Lord Chancellor who was also a friend of the violent, unpredictable King Henry 8th. When the king decides he wants to divorce Catherine of Aragon so he can marry Anne Boleyn, Thomas finds himself having to choose between his loyalty to the royals and his conscience. The act of defiance he ultimately decides upon sees him pay the ultimate price.

Martin Shaw has delighted us for decades with TV roles in Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently and, of course, the '70s detective show The Professionals. On stage he has wowed audiences with his work in Hobson’s Choice, The Best Man, and Twelve Angry Men. The rest of the cast includes Gary Wilmot, Edward Bennett, Abigail Cruttenden, Nicholas Day, Calum Finlay, Asif Khan, Hari Kang, Sam Parks, Louisa Sexton, Timothy Watson and Orlando James.

Walk this way for tickets to see a play about a man of principles that has been thrilling audiences for more than sixty years.
