After helping to murder Becket, King Henry II is haunted by memories of their passionate friendship. Appointing Becket as Archbishop was the King's greatest mistake, for Becket finds his allegiance shifting from king and country to God and Church.

Reseñas editoriales

While the foreign accents are a bit heavy - especially the Italian ones - pushing the presentation towards broad comedy, the rest of this production is a superior example of what an audio play can be. An audio performance depends on the vocal range of the actors. Herein the focus is on Denis O'Hare (Thomas Becket) and Simon Templeman (Henry II, his king), and the richness of the production is primarily achieved by their interaction, and how the play is staged for the ear. Careful attention is also given to volume of voices to suggest, not just physical, but emotional distance. A few selective sound effects sketch crowded courts or cathedrals into being.

I enjoyed this historical play very much. It was moving on several levels and was ultimately inspiring as Beckett made his final faithful choices. Bravo!

Inspiring story, nicely played.

Becket is a terrific play with interesting ideas about the relationship between religion and the State, as well as about friendship in high places. However, this cast does not have a clue about how to approach the author's lovely language. It's like listening to sitcom Shakespeare. The actor playing Becket is particularly bad. See Becket on stage--even a high school production would be superior to this painfully poor version!

Dreadful version of a wonderful play.
