Description

Sir Thomas More is a play that tackles some of the most contentious issues of its time. This edition brings together a substantial critical analysis and comprehensive modern stage history, providing a unique perspective on this fascinating theatrical piece. The introduction explores the complex context in which the play was written, including the involvement of Anthony Munday as chief dramatist and the representation of a multi-cultural London. The text itself is supported by detailed commentary that engages with the manuscript and its production history. This edition offers a compelling insight into the early modern public theatre, where rioting and religious politics were a major concern. With its complex witness to collaboration between dramatists and censorship, Sir Thomas More is an intriguing document of what could be articulated on stage during this period.
