Martin Shaw will star as Sir Thomas More, a scholar, ambassador, Lord Chancellor and friend to King Henry VII. But 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, 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.

Playwright, Robert Bolt won an Oscar for the 1966 screen adaptation of A Man for All Seasons.
