Alex Duffy to Direct Site-Specific Murder in the Cathedral

Obie Award winner Alex Duffy will direct a site-specific staging of T.S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, at The Church of St. Joseph, located at 856 Pacific Street, in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The production will run September 16-October 2, with an opening on September 18.

The drama recounts the last month in the life of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who faces certain death for his defense of the Church against the crown of England. This production will feature an original musical score by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer Dave Malloy.

Godfrey Simmons will play Becket, with the cast also including Christopher Burris, Jordan Coughtry, Alexis McGuinness, Lori Parquet, Nikaury Rodriguez, Julian Rozzell, and Jamie Watkins.

Tickets are free, with a suggested donation price of $10. Part of the proceeds from the production will benefit Brooklyn Arts HQ, a brand-new non-profit educational organization that offers community-based performance experiences for audiences.
