Description
Thomas Becket's tragic fate is the subject of T. S. Eliot's powerful play, Murder in the Cathedral. Written for the Canterbury Festival in 1935, this anniversary edition marks 850 years since the Archbishop's assassination and 85 years since the play's first performance.
The play explores the events leading up to Becket's murder, set against the backdrop of his own cathedral church. Drawing on the earliest sources of drama, Eliot's work is rooted in the themes of religion, ritual, and renewal, which were a triumphant return to the English stage at the time.
This edition of Murder in the Cathedral is a significant milestone, offering a chance to experience one of the 20th century's greatest plays in a new and accessible format.
