West End transfer announced for A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

Following record-breaking ticket sales across the country and a hugely acclaimed national tour earlier this year, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS will transfer to London’s Harold Pinter Theatre this summer, preceded by limited runs in Brighton and York.

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 (Judge John Deed) 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...

The cast also includes Edward Bennett, Nicholas Day, Calum Finlay, Orlando James, Hari Kang, Asif Khan, Annie Kingsnorth, Sam Parks, Sam Phillips, Louisa Sextona and Gary Wilmot, with further casting to be announced.

The creative team is completed by set and costume designer Simon Higlett, lighting designer Mark Henderson, sound designer Paul Groothuis, composer Matthew Scott, and casting director Gabrielle Dawes.

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS will open at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 6 August for a strictly limited run until 6 September. Prior to this, it will play at the Theatre Royal Brighton from 22 – 26 July and Grand Opera House, York from 29 July – 2 August.
