By Graham Thatcher performs the one-man play, which shares More's intensely intimate last hour before his execution

St. Nicholas Church’s Spiritual Life Committee has scheduled an engaging and provocative evening of theater with the nationally acclaimed play “Maxims, Monarchy & Sir Thomas More,” 7:30 p.m., Saturday, in the St. Nicholas School Gymnasium, 12816 S. El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills.

Graham Thatcher performs the one-man play, which shares More’s intensely intimate last hour before his execution as he wrestles with the moral dilemmas that led him to the block. More makes up songs, jokes, takes jabs at his tormentors and eventually finds peace in his faith.

Reviewers and previous audiences have rated Thatcher’s performance “masterful” and “magnificent.”

Tickets are $20 and can purchased by check payable to “St. Nicholas” sent to St. Nicholas Church, 473 Lincoln Ave., Los Altos, CA 94022, or purchased at the door the night of the performance. For more information, call Mitzi Konevich at 949-8400 or Kathleen Twomey at 969-7463.
