About the Show
Jean Anouilh’s Becket tells the story of the relationship between Thomas à Becket and Henry Plantagenet, known to history as King Henry II of England. This relationship begins as friendship and ends with the infamous murder at the Cathedral of Canterbury. Anouilh’s version sets Becket in England during the twelfth century and imagines that the Saxon peasants have not yet acquiesced to their Norman conquerors, nor has the throne firmly established its supremacy over the Catholic Church. Will Monahan directs.
