Description

Becket, Or, The Honour of God by Jean Anouilh A historical tale of conflict between church and state, presented as if it were a foreign occupation. Thomas's elevation to Archbishop of Canterbury forces him to choose between his loyalty to the king and his newfound love for the church. This new translation is published to coincide with a production of the play at London's Theatre Royal, Haymarket. The story explores the tensions between power and faith in 12th-century England. With its unique perspective on history, Becket offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the struggle for authority.
