Sir Thomas More

"Race riots and dissent abound in London as a result of asylum seekers from Europe fleeing religious persecution. Londoners view them as a threat to their employment and their relationships. Thomas More attempts to quell the uprising, pleading for racial harmony." "The original manuscript of Thomas More has margin notes by the Master of the Revels forbidding its performance. The result of a collaboration between Anthony Munday, Henry Chettle, Thomas Dekker, Thomas Heywood and William Shakespeare, there is no record of the play's performance during Shakespeare's lifetime."--BOOK JACKET.
