Product Description:
The classic play about Sir Thomas More, the Lord chancellor who refused to compromise and was executed by Henry VIII.
Average Rating:

Even for a woman infertility is a difficult topic to discuss let alone for a stranger about another man's wife. Sir Thomas More's profundity of agony surfaced when he spoke of birth and death in same breath before his impending death. But an unwary reader could have easily missed this passage. There is so much subtle nuiance of description of conducts and gestures packed in this short drama that I'd have to consider re-reading, seeing a play and a movie version.

I first saw the movie, and was riveted by the dialogue. The clarity of thought, the elevation of principals above self is awe-inspiring. I rushed out to buy the book (the script of the play), and read the wonderful dialogue over and over. Many of the lines simply cry out with logic and integrity, and some have found a place on the wall of my office.
Whether one characterizes Thomas Moore as a saint, a statesman of unbending principals, or both, his strength of character, intellect, humanity ... Read More

This is an amazing play about an incredibly holy man, which employs its words in a profound manner. Thomas More, the beheaded lord chancellor of England under Henry VIII is the patron saint of attorneys, civil servants, politicians, and statesmen:
* "When statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties...they lead their country by a short route to chaos."
* (In response to objection over his use of the word, "heretic":) "It's not a likeable word. It's not a likeable ... Read More
