Familiar television face Martin Shaw returns to the Midlands to star in this touring production of Robert Bolt’s famous play.

Best known from hit TV series Judge John Deed, Inspector George Gently and The Professionals, Birmingham-born Martin plays the character of Sir Thomas More. A staunchly Catholic man of immense integrity, More finds himself forced to choose between his loyalty and his conscience when King Henry VIII demands a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, clearing the way for the monarch to marry Anne Boleyn. 

The production is helmed by former Birmingham Rep artistic director Jonathan Church.
