Sorry, I just could not get past casting Mark Rylance as Cromwell. In the books, he, Cromwell, is described as a thug and a street brawler, albeit a clever and ambitious one. As much as I like Rylance I can’t see him in a pub brawl.
I came to be an avid Wolf Hall fan (first TV then book) precisely because Rylance had made an impact on me playing a homeless alcoholic boxer years before in The Grass Arena, and I watched it originally solely because of him.
