Saw A Man For All Seasons at Richmond Theatre yesterday. Written in 1960 by Robert Bolt. Set in the 16th century court of Henry VIII. Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor, resists the blandishments and threats aimed at inducing him to go against the law and his conscience. He pays the ultimate price.
Has the world turned full circle, or is it a case of 'plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose'?
