Theatre Royal
A royal treat is in now for patrons who are quick enough to take advantage of the opportunity. The richly costumed and highly successful play by Robert Bolt, "A Man For All Seasons," is on stage at the Boys High School Assembly Hall with performances taking place only on July 17, 18 and 19. A very strong cast is involved in this story of Sir Thomas More's fall from favour and subsequent execution. He wouldn't agree to Henry VIIIs marriage to Anne Boleyn.
Sir Thomas (Mark Robinson) gets the axe (so to speak). This intricate bit of stagecraft is one of the highlights of the play.
