Act I Synopsis In Act I of A Man for All Seasons, the play opens in the Victorian era of England under the rule of King Henry VIII and his wife. England is a quiet place where the citizens live normal, everyday lives until King Henry announces he would like to divorce his wife because he wants an heir to the throne, but his wife is barren and cannot have children. In order to file for a divorce, the King calls upon our protagonist, a well-respected and noble attorney, Sir Thomas More. When approached by the King, More’s life, as well as, his family's lives become shaken. His wife Alice, and daughter Meg’s safety is now in jeopardy. Throughout Act I, More continues a battle - should he obey the King, and save reputation and possibly his life, or stick to his morals and possibly risk his life? Intermission Act II Synopsis In Act II, the play resumes and opens with the Common Man foreshadowing Sir Thomas More’s imprisonment. Two years have passed and a lot has happened. The King has declared himself the Head of the Church, and More resigns as Chancellor. In order to imprison More for not supporting the divorce, the King’s assistant, Cromwell, accuses More of accepting bribes in his career. In an attempt to save his friendship, More breaks his bond with the Duke of Norfolk only to be imprisoned days later. In prison, More does his best to stay true to his faith and save his family, telling them to leave the country on the same day at different ports. After some time in jail, More is put on trial and charged with high treason. Act II explores one of the most heartbreaking stories of one of the bravest martyrs of all time. Who's Who? Greta Atilano is one of the many bright stars in this year’s production of A Man for All Seasons. She will be portraying Meg and could not have gotten to where she is today without the help from her fellow cast, intelligent producers, or extraordinary director. Greta Atilano has previously portrayed characters such as Mayella Ewell in the Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird and Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Ms. Atilano currently resides in San Antonio, Texas with her family. She attends St. Matthew Catholic School and hopes to attend Incarnate Word High School. Ms. Atilano has always loved preforming in front of people and dressing up from a young age, so starring in theater and plays was only natural. She would not be where she is today without the help of her parents and her amazing director and producer, Dr. Grenardo. A Note from the Director When I was first approached about possibly taking on the play, A Man for All Seasons, I was hesitant since I knew it was such an emotional and complex play with so many different themes and dynamics, but after months of debate and preparation I am so thankful and excited to put forth this production. This play has not only taught me so much about facts of the time, such as England’s monarchy, but it also taught me so much about what it means to truly be an archetype and be true to your faith as Sir Thomas More was. Not only am I grateful for this amazing opportunity to portray such a classic story, but I am also so thankful for my wonderful cast. Without their talent, dedication, and perseverance this play would have never been possible. I also would like to thank the many producers for providing publicity and funds that helped this show become what it is today. I would like to thank the amazing stage hands and set designers, too, who always made sure the stage really set the scene for the audience. Lastly, I would like you thank you, whoever is reading this note, thank you for taking your time to watch and admire our beautiful set, talented actors, and the story of one of the bravest saints of all, Sir Thomas More.

Program Act I Synopsis A Man for All Seasons is a play about an attorney named Sir Thomas More, whose faith is strong in God, and Richard Rich, a servant who seeks money. More is married to a woman named Alice and is a powerful figure since many people listen to his words. More explains to Richard Rich that he should become a teacher, yet Rich dismisses the advice. Next, King Henry VIII tries to get More’s approval regarding his divorce, but ultimately fails as More is very religious. Cardinal Wolsey tries to convince More to approve of the divorce for the King, yet More convinces Wolsey that divorce goes against the Church’s teachings. Later, Alice More and Margaret More try to ask Thomas what the Cardinal told him, but Thomas tries to keep it a secret and will not let them know. Wolsey dies, and King Henry VIII comes back and appoints More as the new Chancellor to try and convince Thomas again to approve of his divorce; More still refuses. Richard Rich talks to Cromwell in a pub where Cromwell tells Richard to try and help him make the King’s divorce convenient. To do so though, Cromwell needs to know to which pawn shop he sold the silver cup and where the lady gave Thomas More the bribe. Finally, Richard Rich accepts the job as Collector of Revenues and is now trying to help get rid of More. Intermission Act II Synopsis Two years pass and much has happened as King Henry VIII has named himself the Pope, and More resigns as Chancellor. Then, Cromwell accuses and interrogates More for accepting bribes during his judicature. Next, Sir Thomas tries to end his relationship with Norfolk to prevent injury to Norfolk, which works but ultimately ends with More’s imprisonment. Later, we learn that Cromwell attempted to bribe the jailer to get dirt on More, which also fails.

  • OPENING of the ROPER VAULT in St. Dunstan's Canterbury and Thoughts on the Burial of William and Margaret Roper
    OPENING OF THE ROPER VAULT in St. Dunstan's Canterbury and thoughts on the burial of William and Margaret Roper. by Hugh O. Albin From Saturday 15 July until Wednesday 26 July 1978, the vault of the Roper family remained open in St. Dunstan's Church, Canterbury, for the purpose of making a complete record of its contents. This first archaeological survey ever made was arranged by me to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of Sir Thomas More. The work was carried out by members of the Canterbury Archaeological Trust under their director Tim Tatton-Brown in conjunction with the church architect Peter Marsh, whose Dutch assistant, Henk Strik made detailed drawings of the Chapel and vault, as well as a complete photographic record. The archaeological report tells us that the present Roper chantry chapel attached to the south-east side of St. Dunstan's Church is almost entirely the building that was erected circa 1524. Of the first chapel, built in 1402, there probably remain only the three arches, one on the west and two on the north, which join the chapel to the main church building. The pilgrim looking at the outside of the Roper Chapel should notice that it is made of fine red bricks with Caen stone quoins and window surrounds. The windows are all typical of the early 16th century. The bricks are large (6.5 x 12 x 25 cms) and each laid entirely in an English bond. Red brickwork of this type does not occur commonly in Canterbury until the late 15th century.

THE RELEVANCE OF ST. THOMAS MORE RICHARD A. VACHON, S.J.* T HOMAS MORE WAS the contemporary man. I mean this not in the sense Winston Churchill had in mind when he wrote, "More stood forth as the defender of all that was finest in the medieval outlook." Rather, Thomas More was our man. He worked for a salary and met a payroll. Long before urban sprawl, More was a city man-Reynolds calls him the greatest of all Londoners. He was born in the city and lived in the heart of it for nearly 50 years. Then he became a suburbanite-opening up Chelsea. He invested in land, leasing farmland to tenant-farmers or holding it on speculation. He was a politician, probably the only canonized saint who ever ran for public office and won. And when Parliament elected him Speaker, he petitioned and received from the King immunity for the members of the House to express their opinions freely on the matters submitted to them.

A LEGAL CAREER FOR ALL SEASONS: REMEMBERING ST. THOMAS MORE'S VOCATION VERYL VICTORIA MILES* The vast majority of the work taking place in most law schools is the preparation of law students for the practice of law; namely, to teach legal theory and doctrine, legal analysis, writing, and advocacy. In sum, the goal of most law schools is to teach the many different skills required in law practice and the profes- sional rules of legal ethics. What appears to be lacking in the preparation of future lawyers are lessons on how to incorporate this vast amount of specialized learning and skill in ways that will be harmonious with the personal, moral, and ethical values that they possessed at the commencement of their legal education.

  • “Mary Roper Clarke Bassett and Meredith Hanmer's
    Mary Roper Clarke Bassett and Meredith Hanmer’s Honorable Ladie of the Lande Eugenio OLIVARES MERINO University of Jaén ABSTRACT In his 1577 English translation of Eusebius’ History of the Church, Meredith Hanmer makes reference to “an honorable Ladie of the lande,” whose identity still remains unknown. My design here is to gather the scarce and scattered available evidence, so as to propose a name that is rather reasonable. In order to contextualize the conclusions, reference will also be made to such issues as women’s literacy and religious controversies in Elizabethan England. KEYWORDS: Mary Roper Clarke Bassett, Meredith Hanmer, translation, Greek, Eusebius Mary Roper,1 Sir Thomas More’s granddaughter by his beloved Margaret, is especially known for an English translation of her grandfather’s Latin book about Christ’s Passion, written while prisoner in the Tower of London.2 This work was included in William Rastell’s edition of More’s English Works (1557), pp. 1350- 1404, and it was the only text by a woman to appear in print during the reign of Mary Tudor (Demers 2001: 5). The editor was enthusiastic about the chance he had to include Mary’s translation, for it seemed to be no translation at all: “so that it myghte seme to have been by hys [Thomas More’s] own pen indyted first, and not at all translated: suche a gyft hath she to followe her grandfathers vayne in writing” (Rastell 1557: 1350). But it is Mary’s partial translation of Eusebius’ History of the Church that I will bring forth into the readers’ consideration, both for it and for the light it might 1 The date of Mary’s birth is not known.

  • Petr Osolsobě Sir Thomas More
    PETR OSOLSOBĚ SIR THOMAS MORE: LESS COLLABORATIVE, MORE SHAKESPEAREAN Is Sir Thomas More, in all its fortuitous dramatic unity, the subtle symmetries of its characters, and its network of cross-references a collaborative work? As far as modern editors are concerned, there is a measure of agreement that the original play was the work of Anthony Munday and Henry Chettle, and was completed around 1592-94. Its manuscript contains a number of rewritten and additional passages, attributed to Chettle, Heywood, Dekker and Shakespeare. Gabrieli and Melchiori, in their admirable 1990 Revels edition of Sir Thomas More, support the assumption: playwriting at the time, at least for the public stage, was a collaborative practice between men of letters and actors and the men of the theatre, frequently on the basis of a ‘plot’ devised by a single author[. Besides,] all the extant or lost plays connected with Munday’s name [...] are written in collaboration. (Gabrieli and Melchiori 1990: 13) Munday’s claim to authorship is, furthermore, supported by his access to Harpsfield’s Life of More as well as to other rare recusant literature used in the play; Munday was the right-hand man of Richard Topcliffe, a notorious priest-catcher under Queen Elizabeth, and his close ‘collaborator’ in arresting and executing Roman Catholic priests Edmund Campion, Ralph Sherwin and Alexander Briant in 1581 (Gabrieli and Melchiori 1990: 8). Moreover, Munday was familiar with Latin tags and quotations which are abundant in the original text, always correct in spelling, grammar and syntax, owing to his daily usage of Latin during the months he spent as a spy in the Catholic English College in Rome from February to May 1579.

  • The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More
    The Family and Descendants of Sir Thomas More Grandparents: William More and Johanna Joye: William was a Citizen and Baker of London. He died in 1469. Johanna (d.1470) was the daughter of John Joye, a Citizen and Brewer of London and his wife Johanna, daughter of John Leycester, a Chancery Clerk. Due to the seizure of family documents by Henry VIII following Thomas More‟s execution his ancestry cannot be traced back further than this. He referred to himself as “a Londoner born, of no noble family, but of honest stock”. [Note: It has sometimes been claimed that Sir John More, Thomas More‟s father, said that his ancestors came from Ireland. However, what he actually said was that his ancestors “either came out of the Mores of Ireland, or they came out of us”. No records of any Irish links have been discovered.] Parents: Sir John More (c.1451-1530) and Agnes Graunger (d.1499): John and Agnes were married in the church of St Giles without Cripplegate, London, on 24th April 1474. Agnes was the daughter of Thomas Graunger, an Alderman of London and a Merchant of the Staple of Calais. Agnes was John More‟s first wife, and the mother of all his children. Agnes died in 1499 and was buried in the Church of St. Michael Bassishaw, London. After her death John More married again three times. His second wife was Joan Marshall (the widow of John Marshall) who died in 1505. His third wife was Joan Bowes (the widow of Thomas Bowes) who died in 1520.

Mary Bassett (d. 1572), Jane Lumley (1537-1578), Jane Seager (fl. 1589), and Esther Inglis (1570/1-1624) each translated an existing printed text into English; each woman translated her source text on a linguistic level – from Greek, or Latin, or French into English – but also translated on an inter- semiotic level – from print to manuscript, sometimes with striking additions in terms of painting, drawing, needlework, calligraphy, and bindings.
