The text explores the tumultuous socio-political climate of England during the rise of anti-alien sentiment, focusing on the character of Sir Thomas More, a prominent statesman known for his integrity and moral courage. The beginning of the play introduces various characters in London as tensions simmer between the local English populace and foreign immigrants.
