Description
Written for the Canterbury Festival in 1935, Murder in the Cathedral depicts the events that led to the assassination of Thomas Becket by the knights of Henry II in 1170. An exploration of religion, ritual purgation and renewal, the play brought the form and themes of Greek drama triumphantly back to the contemporary English stage. As lampooned by Monty Python, Blackadder, and countless others.
