My Review on "A Man for All Seasons"

The play was put on by the Port Tobacco Players in another town, other than my own. The acting was pretty good, Pretty Amazing by Southern Maryland standards. The Story is about Sir Thomas More from about 1529 to 1535 when he was beheaded. More, as you know, refuses to agree to the divorce of Henry VIII to KOA, and the Act of Supremacy. Drama ensues. What I was most excited to see was Thomas Cromwell. Now this Cromwell did a LOT of yelling, and he (the actor) favored the actor in Anne of a Thousand Days. Cromwell was a ass, but I know the true story, so I just sat there and laughed. I did wonder if anyone had caught at all, when Cromwell said, "The Kind said this, the King said that, Oh the King sent me, The King wants this/that" Cromwell, I must emphasis, did everything for the King, and many times on the King's Orders! But Cromwell was a jerk in the play, which I LOVED! Alice More, Thomas More's saucy wifey, was annoying. And was she MEAN! I don't think, in the play, she liked Margaret More (Thomas's daughter) very much. How mean! The play was good though, everyone played their part well, except for the actor who play the Duke of Norfolk, he could have been better. Paused at better places, did something more with his hands when he was standing. But he did have nice, pure white hair! He looked like Santa Clause! So to anyone who has this play being performed in their town, I recommend going. It's well written and it's not spoken in Ol' English. So go and have fun! And I met someone cuteeeee! If you cared to know...

Yay, great review! I'm so jealous, I'd love to see 'A Man For All Seasons' on stage. A yelling Cromwell? Weirdness. I think I prefer JF's calm, contained, icy Cromwell :) Is there much about More's relationship with Margaret More in the play? I've always found their relationship really interesting and touching.

Oooh, someone cute? Good for you!

Yeah, Cromwell yelling, I wasn't expecting it AT ALL! He was actually kinda scary. ='( Oh yes, I prefer Jame's Cromwell... oh yes, I prefer That Cromwell. Yeah, they go into More and Margaret's relationship, although the actors weren't the real More and Margaret, you could just imagine though that More really did love his daughter, so sweet! Also, they had William Roeper in too, and his and More's relationship was comic relief. Just about every scene with More and Roeper was funny!

Yeah someone cute... gah! Hopefully I can see him again, soon. He's friends with my best friend's boyfriend. He looks good in newsboy hats! haha!
