Opis

Radical new translation of the Jean Anouilh classic

As he waits to be scourged for his part in Beckets murder, King Henry II retraces his entire relationship with the saint, once his dearest friend and mentor. His catastrophic mistake was to create Becket Archbishop out of political expediency for Becket found a fulfilment lacking in his hitherto luxurious life and therefore guarded the honour of God as once he had, as Henrys Chancellor, guarded the honour of his King.
