Bowen Park Theatre to Present A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, Begin. 9/27
By: Tyler Peterson Sep. 18, 2013
Bowen PArk Theatre Company will open its 26th season with the compelling drama A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. The play, written by Robert Bolt and directed by Barbara Anderson, is the retelling of the historic events surrounding Sir Thomas More's fight to stay true to his values, despite pressure from King Henry VIII, and even More's family and friends. On one level, the play enacts the political intrigue central to the historical conflict between Henry VIII and Sir Thomas More over the King's desires to divorce Catherine of Aragon so that he can marry Anne Boleyn, and to take over the Catholic Church in England as its "Supreme Head." On a universal level, the play examines the consequences of the choices people make as they define their priorities in life.
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS opens September 27, in the Dr. Lynn Schornick Theatre in the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, 39 Jack Benny Drive-Bowen Park, Waukegan, IL.
