First performed in 1594, Sir Thomas More is a fascinating hybrid of history play and morality tale, telling the story of the titular 16th century chancellor's struggle to reconcile his faith and his loyalty to King Henry VIII. Featuring some of Shakespeare's most stirring soliloquies and dramatic set pieces, this neglected masterpiece of the early English stage deserves a wider audience.
