It was completely amazing. And Martin proved himself a wonderful stage actor.
All the articles I've seen of plays he's done in the past seem to attest to that.
I have to say that I'm totally a fan of the More in the play. And I'm willing to cut him slack for working within a Tudor court where R III pretty much had to be discredited.
I think I'm too emotionally involved to take that route. For me, along with Shakespeare, More is not much more than a Tudor hack...which tends to lessen any admiration I might have had for him and his "standing on his principles" since it didn't seem to apply to everything. But, like I said, I'm willing to put up with it for Martin's sake. ;-)
