York immerses itself in medieval times with a new summer festival, and City Screen offers a period movie on the struggle between Church and State.
This classic adaptation of Robert Bolt’s play chronicles the tale of Thomas More (Paul Scofield) in 16th-century England. More was King Henry VIII’s trusted Chancellor, but his religious principles drew him into conflict with the king when the monarch rejected the Roman Catholic Church in order to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn (Vanessa Redgrave). There’s a terrific British cast, and look out too for Orson Welles in a cameo as Cardinal Wolsey.
In conjunction with York Libraries’ Big City Read and York Medieval Festival.
