A Man For All Seasons

At Jericho Arts Centre until September 27, 2015
The titular ‘man for all seasons’ is Sir Thomas More and the description comes from More’s contemporary, Robert Whittington, who described the 16th century Chancellor of England as, “a man of angel’s wit and singular learning… a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes, and sometime of sad gravity. A man for all seasons.”
