Where: Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4HT

What: Jean Anouilh's timeless classic captures the conflict between love and duty. As a young man, Thomas à Becket was no saint: boozing and womanizing alongside his great friend King Henry II. In an act of friendship, Henry makes Becket Archbishop Of Canterbury, but then watches horrified as his cohort embraces his new role with a dangerous zeal...

Dougray Scott returns to the stage for the first time in 4 years to play Becket and Jasper Britton plays Henry II.
