Becket, or, The Honour of God: A Play in Four Acts

A period drama for 24 males and 1 female. Cast doubling possible. Never have Anouilh's characteristic intelligence and irony been employed with more telling effect than in this drama of the tragic relationship between the King Henry of England and the introspective intellectual who had been his dearest friend, but who became his implacable enemy when intrigue raised him to the hierarchy of the church. Produced to great acclaim in London, New York and Paris.
