Description: “A Man for All Seasons” by Robert Bolt is a play set in 16th-century England, dramatizing the conflict between Sir Thomas More and King Henry VIII. The story focuses on More’s moral and legal opposition to the king's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn. More, a devout Catholic and a man of integrity, refuses to endorse the king's actions, which leads to his downfall. The play explores themes of conscience, power, and the consequences of staying true to one's principles in the face of political pressure.
