"Becket and Other Plays" is a collection of dramatic works written by various playwrights, with "Becket" as one of the featured plays. Written by Jean Anouilh, "Becket" is a historical drama that dramatizes the conflict between Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and King Henry II of England. Set in the 12th century, the play explores themes of power, loyalty, and the clash between secular and religious authority. Through compelling dialogue and rich characterization, Anouilh brings to life the tumultuous relationship between Becket and Henry, culminating in Becket's martyrdom and his eventual canonization as a saint.
