18 March – 4 April
A Man for All Seasons
by Robert Bolt

A timeless treatment of an historical story. Taking as his subject the story of Sir Thomas More, Saint and martyr in Jonathan Swift’s opinion ‘a person of the greatest virtue these islands ever produced’, Robert Bolt explores the role of the individual in, and finally against, the society in which he finds himself.
