The action of the play takes place between the 2nd and 29th December, 1170. It covers the period between the return of Thomas Becket to his see of Canterbury after exile and his murder by four knights, who have perhaps taken too literally some words of exasperation from King Henry II. However, it has a timeless element not without relevance to modern times, and the production will seek to bring this out.
