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." This new translation is published to tie in with a production of
the play opening at London's Theatre Royal, Haymarket.
Now retired, the General tries to keep old age at bay by dallying with every available pretty woman. His wife Emily, a determined invalid, perpetually complains of her husband's peccadilloes. Seventeen years ago, as they danced to the Waltz of the Toreadors, the General and Ghislaine de Ste Euvert fell in love. Ghislaine has waited, chaste and faithful, for the day when the General will be free of Emily. Now she comes to claim her man, armed with letters that prove Emily has been unfaithful.7 women, 4 men
