Wimborne Drama

"A Man For All Seasons" tells the story of a key figure in the reign of Henry VIII - Sir Thomas More. This critically acclaimed play brings the characters' Tudor history to vibrant life and offers a brilliant portrait of Sir Thomas More in his last years as Lord Chancellor of England.

When Henry fails to obtain papal approval for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn, he mandates his subjects to sign an "Act of Supremacy" making him Head of the Church of England. As a committed Catholic, Sir Thomas cannot in good conscience comply. Neither Cromwell, Cardinal Wolsey, family, friends nor the King himself are able to convince More as he maintains his integrity and belief in silence.

"A Man For All Seasons" charts the dramatic downfall of a man who paid the ultimate price when personal conscience clashed with supreme power.
