Anouilh's classic historical tale of conflict between church and
state, in a major new translation by Frederic and Stephen Raphael
In Becket, Anouilh presents the history of England under Henry
II as if it was France under German occupation. As Henry's
long-time political playmate, Thomas's elevation to Archbishop of
Canterbury forces him to sacrifice the love of his leader for his
newfound love of the church: "If I become archbishop I shall cease
to be your friend."
Becket was first produced at the Theatre Montparnasse in 1959.
This new translation is published to tie in with a production of
the play opening at London's Theatre Royal, Haymarket.
