Martin Shaw and Gary Wilmot will star in A Man For All Seasons in the West End for a limited time this Autumn.

Directed by Jonathan Church, Robert Bolt's award-winning play centres on one of the most significant, powerful, and dangerous figures in English history: Sir Thomas More. Shaw assumes the roles of scholar, ambassador, Lord Chancellor, and friend to Henry VIII. The story follows the moment when he is forced to choose between his loyalty and his own conscience as Henry demands a divorce from Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn.

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

The creative team is completed by Simon Higlett (Set & Costume Designer), Mark Henderson (Lighting Designer), Paul Groothuis (Sound Designer), Matthew Scott (Composer) and Gabrielle Dawes (Casting Director).

Described by Mail on Sunday as "a cracking story of human courage", A Man For All Seasons will play at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 6 August to 6 September 2025.
