Richmond Theatre is set to host the powerful and award-winning play A Man for All Seasons from Tuesday, March 11, to Saturday, March 15, 2025. This historical drama, written by Robert Bolt, brings to life the intense struggles of integrity, power, and loyalty that shaped English history.
The production stars the celebrated Martin Shaw as Sir Thomas More, the principled scholar, ambassador, and Lord Chancellor who famously stood his ground against King Henry VIII. More’s unwavering moral stance on the King’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon—and his subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn—ultimately leads to his downfall in this gripping tale of courage and sacrifice.
Martin Shaw, beloved for his roles in Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently, and The Professionals, is no stranger to the stage. Recent West End highlights include standout performances in Hobson’s Choice, The Best Man, and Twelve Angry Men. Audiences can expect his portrayal of More to be nothing short of mesmerizing.
The production is directed by Jonathan Church, whose impressive career includes a decade as Artistic Director of the Chichester Festival Theatre. Church and Shaw previously collaborated on the acclaimed West End run of Hobson’s Choice during Church’s tenure at Theatre Royal Bath.
Performances will run nightly from Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30 PM, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2:30 PM.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience A Man for All Seasons in the intimate and historic setting of Richmond Theatre, located at The Green, Richmond, TW9 1QJ. For tickets and more information, visit the theatre’s website or box office.
