A Man for All Seasons

About A Man for All Seasons

By Robert Bolt

Directed by Jonathan Church

Starring Martin Shaw

The greatest, most powerful, and most dangerous figures who shaped English history are brought vividly to life in Robert Bolt’s award-winning play.

Martin Shaw stars as Sir Thomas More – scholar, ambassador, Lord Chancellor, and friend to King Henry VIII. Above all, he is a man of integrity, loved by the common people and his own family.

When Henry demands a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, clearing the way for him to marry Anne Boleyn, the staunchly Catholic Thomas is forced to choose between his loyalty and his own conscience, committing an incredible act of defiance for which he eventually pays the ultimate price.

One of the UK’s best-loved actors on stage and screen, Martin Shaw is known to millions for his television roles in Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently, and The Professionals. His recent West End stage appearances include Hobson’s Choice, The Best Man, and Twelve Angry Men.

Jonathan Church’s directorial credits include a ten-year period as artistic director of Chichester Festival Theatre.

Reviews

“Shaw gives a fine performance as the obdurate hero”.

The Guardian

“The story is a gripping one… Martin Shaw is superb, playing More with both gravitas and a lightness of touch”.

Daily Telegraph

“Impressive how Robert Bolt’s finely tuned drama has stood the test of time”.

About Beauty and the Beast Pantomime by Launton Village Players

The Launton Village Players put on a pantomime every February half term in Bicester, and their next panto will be “Beauty and the Beast” from Wednesday, 19 to Saturday, 22 February 2025, in the Performance Hall at The Cooper School in Bicester.

All profits will be donated to the Hummingbird Centre, a cancer support and therapy centre in Launton that supports anyone on a cancer journey and their loved ones.

The organisers have often found that our pantomime is the first introduction many children have to live theatre, and as such, they ensure the show is suitable for all ages and hope to attract as many local families as possible. Not only does it help us raise money for good causes, but it is also a fantastic opportunity to keep your children entertained over half term.

To help local families with the cost of living, the organisers have tickets on sale from Friday, 11 October, with family discounts available for all performances. They are also offering a 10% discount if tickets are booked before 31 October – use the code EARLYBIRD at the checkout.

Far From the Madding Crowd

About Far From the Madding Crowd

Capricious, independent and beautiful Bathsheba Everdene inherits and manages her uncle’s farm. She is courted by three infatuated suitors: an honest, loyal and capable shepherd; a womanising and charming Sergeant; and a lonely, wealthy farmer. Who will she choose? If any of them? She plays with all their hearts to devastating and dramatic effect.

Far from the Madding Crowd demonstrates live, vibrant theatre at its very best.

Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece about love, class, and gender roles is set against the rural landscape of Victorian England and is thrillingly brought to life in a new adaptation by the acclaimed Conn Artists Theatre Company, performed by an ensemble cast accompanied by music and songs of the period.

About Gary Meikle

A message from Scottish comedy award-winner, viral social media star, and international comedian Gary Meikle: ‘On 23rd January 2024 I was diagnosed as being neurodivergent which was kind of a surprise to me, funny enough not to anyone that knows me. Although surprising this pretty much answered my full life and why I am the way I am.

Gary Meikle
