Heston enjoyed acting on stage, believing it revivified him as an actor. He never returned to Broadway, but acted in regional theatres. His most frequent stage roles included the title role in "Macbeth", and Mark Antony in both "Julius Caesar" and "Antony and Cleopatra". He played Sir Thomas More in "A Man for All Seasons" in several regional productions in the 1970s and 1980s, eventually playing it in London's West End. The play was a success and the West End production was taken to Aberdeen, Scotland, for a week, where it was staged at His Majesty's Theatre.
