About this event

The greatest, most powerful and dangerous figures who shaped English history are brought vividly to life in Robert Bolt’s award-winning play, directed by Jonathan Church. Martin Shaw stars as Sir Thomas More – scholar, ambassador, Lord Chancellor and friend to King Henry VIII. Above all, he is a man of integrity, loved by the common people and his own family. When Henry demands a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, clearing the way for him to marry Anne Boleyn, the staunchly Catholic Thomas is forced to choose between his loyalty and his own conscience, committing an incredible act of defiance for which he eventually pays the ultimate price… Martin Shaw is known to millions for his television roles in Judge John Deed , Inspector George Gently and The Professionals . His recent West End stage appearances include Hobson’s Choice , The Best Man and Twelve Angry Men . Theatre Royal Bath presents A Man For All Seasons
