Hello and welcome back to this episode of Chronicles where today we're going to be talking

all about A Man for all seasons by Robert

Bolt, a play written in 1960 about the martyrdom of Sir Thomas Moore back during the Tudor

period. So if we're going to be talking history, what better thing to do than bring in the

history bro himself, Bo? How are you, sir? I'm fine. Thank you. Thanks,

for me. I love talking about the age of Henry. Yeah. Love to talk about Thomas Moore,

Thomas Cromwell, Woolsey, the whole lot. Right. And it covers it, doesn't it? It's a great

little bit of time. It is. The rise and more importantly, the fall of Thomas Moore.

St. Thomas Moore.

Yeah, if you're of that faith.

And yeah, because we've actually talked about all of this a little bit before,

but from a different viewpoint, haven't we?

Because, well, you invited me in before I joined full time,

and we did that epoch on Thomas Cromwell, didn't we?

Yeah, yeah.

And one of the main way that we framed that discussion

was looking at whether or not Cromwell as a man,

the historical Cromwell, was more like his Wolf Hall portrayal

or his A Man for All Seasons portrayal, right?

And so now we're just really going to focus in on this as a play.

And famously a fantastic film as well.

The 1966 film starring Paul Schofield, Robert Shaw.
