When Henry VIII puts aside Queen Catherine, he fears opposition from Sir Thomas More, his own Lord Chancellor, even more than from the Pope. A man of principle and politics, More tries to thread a vanishingly small needle to uphold his principles and to keep his head. Robert Bolt's searing drama forces us to confront what we too might bear or not to keep clear our conscience.
A Philadelphia Premiere
By Robert Bolt
Directed by Peter DeLaurier
At Plays & Players Theatre
"What a brave return to live theater this production is! Lantern Theater Company gives us old-time drama and powerful theater, full of big ideas and complex language, rather than a bit of fluff to amuse or console us. With a top-notch cast and clever direction by Peter DeLaurier, it's a heady three hours." –Toby Zinman, Phindie
"A new live beginning at Philly's Lantern Theater! Lantern's cast is impressive... Peter DeLaurier's sturdy, often gripping production has an old-fashioned feel." –Julia Klein, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Riveting... Frank X gives a magnificent performance as Sir Thomas More. Wry, philosophical, weary yet optimistic, X's More is easily worth the price of admission. I could not take my eyes off his performance in a highly demanding role that requires a light touch with comedy but a commanding force with moral soliloquies." –Josh Herren, Broad Street Review
