More was an intellectual. Nothing that I read of him when I directed the play suggested so dim a view of his character. Even if what I read had been biased, I was less concerned with the More of history than the More of the play.....He did not, in any case, toss his life away like a slipper, but tried with all his wiles to preserve it. He could not. A time server would have agreed to the Act of Supremacy. Whether there were a point to his sacrifice depends, I suppose, on one's view of the issue, and of the value of conscience. Bolt, of course, focuses on the latter. As resistance to tyranny, the sacrifice has value. Sacrifice need not have a practical result.....Heston works well in the play, whether it is true or not...
