A Man For All Seasons is a play concerned with morality, politics and the common man. It is a play that though written decades ago, holds great wisdom for the individual of today and in its own particular way utilises a known historical event to address particular issues.The core argument of this play is whether morality and law or religion and law must be separated. Whether it should or should not be is a separate debate to this review, however Robert Bolt's argument appears to be that a man orMagnificent play showing More's life and his trial under Henry VIII's reign.
3.5 stars If anybody petition for Goodreads to create a rating system with half star in it, I will be the first to sign. Format: Play Favorite characters : Thomas More - the witty, saintly guy who (view spoiler)[ finally dies (hide spoiler)] to preserve his selfhood, rather than suffer himself under the whims and wishes of his society, and betray his conscience by swearing to a lie. What's good about this? :The play is short, the dialogue had a lot of quotable quotes, clever uses of

A very fast read; I managed to read it all in between loads of laundry. I would love to see this on the stage. I feel like the playwright captured Moore and Cromwell's positions and reputed attitudes very well. This is one of my favorite periods of history, and I never get tired of it. 3.5 rounded up.2018 Popsugar- A book that is also a stage play or musical.
sounds boring and history-y, right? Ya well, it's also very, very interesting. It really made me think about... well a lot of stuff. Morality, matyrdom, how people become famous and reputed... Idk. It's good.
After reading Mantel's 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring up the Bodies' I felt almost obligated to get another perspective on Thomas More. From a fictional perspective, I felt 'A Man for All Seasons' was the place to go. A beautiful play that examines what it is like to be a man of immovable consience in a corrupt society. Now I've got to go figure out if a fundamentalist angel is still an angel.
