Albany Civic Theater’s (ACT) is proud to present its third show of the 2008-2009 main stage season: 
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
by Robert Bolt 

Directed by Carol King 
 
When Henry VIII's first wife is unable to produce an heir to the throne, he uses that as a pretext for the Pope to grant him a divorce so he can marry his newest conquest. The King is backed by everyone on this request except the highly regarded and religious Sir Thomas More. Cardinal Wolsey, Chancellor of England, names More as his successor and it becomes important for Henry to get More's support, but he cannot be swayed. Henry demands the clergy to renounce the Pope and name him Head of the Church of England. Oliver Cromwell frames More, forcing him to resign as Chancellor. Eventually, More is brought to trial and is forced to choose between his life and his morals. A Man for All Seasons won multiple Tony awards and a Theater World award when first produced on Broadway in 1962. 
 
Starring: Chris Foster as Sir Thomas More, Patrick White as Henry VIII, Matt MacArevey as Master Cromwell, Gil Spevak as the Duke of Norfolk, Peter Belenchia as The Common Man, Nate Beynon as Richard Rich, Judith Bouchard as Alice More, Chas Treadwell as Ambassador Chapuys, Katie Weinberg as Margaret More, Dan Stott as William Roper, Amy Durant as Catherine Anger, Al Aumick as Cardinal Wolsey, and Bill Hickman as Cranmer.
