Product Description

Product Description

This series presents a wide choice of 20th-century drama. The books offer scene-by-scene analysis, structured questions and assignment suggestions for GCSE. This play portrays Sir Thomas More as a hero of "selfhood", contrasting this with the assertion that every man has his price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Histroy at its best, 28 Mar 2001
This review is from: A Man for All Seasons (Methuen Theatre Classics) (Modern Classics) (Paperback)
The thought of a play concerned with an historical event might put you off seeing it. But in 'A Man for all Seasons', Robert Bolt has successfully created a play which deals with the historical events of Sir Thomas More's trial and execution in 1535, and at the same time made it entertaining, accessible and thought provoking. You don't need to know any of the history surrounding the play because, as a text, the plays gives you what you need to know. And the philosophical ideas which More/Bolt plays with are still relevant today - just as they were in 1535, and just as they were in 1960 when the play was written. If you get the opportunity to see a production of 'A Man for all Seasons', or the film, you really should take it up. And if you want a copy of a play which you'll refer back to time and again, then Bolt's is one you'd be well advised to invest in.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Man for All Seasons, 29 Nov 2002
An fully accomplished script, with subtlety and a keen vocabulary. Interesting to convulge Mores weaving mind manacles as he escapes the law - only through his own knowledge. A hard book to truely understand but makes interesting reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A play for those who are fascinated by history, 3 Jan 2007
I have actually been using this play as a source for my A level coursework on Thomas More. This play was easy to read and get into, and really gave you a feel for what More was actually like. I also watched the film version of the play, which also helped with the understanding of everything. The only thing I'd have to say is I don't know whether people would fully understand all parts of the play if they had not previously done some study on the time of Henry VIII as the play seems to assume knowledge. But if you are interested in this period of history, then pick up this play.
