A Man for All Seasons is at Festival Theatre in Edinburgh from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 November 2026. Robert Bolt’s celebrated historical drama explores conscience, power, and principle through the story of Sir Thomas More and the court of Henry VIII.
This is a classic straight play with weighty themes, strong speeches, and plenty of political tension.
