While we wait for the final episode of Wolf Hall, we’ll be introducing Robert Bolt’s adaptation of a related story set in the court of Henry VIII, the life and death of Thomas More. It’s a deft political drama, with Paul Scofield reprising his Tony-winning role from the original play (he also won an Oscar). He gives a mesmerizing performance as a royal advisor, humble and sincere, but a little too attached to his faith. And when Henry asks for a divorce, it’s this religious pride that sparks a fire between the king (a hot-headed Robert Shaw) and Leo McKern’s scheming Thomas Cromwell. Simon Wardell
