Twenty Feet Productions, the company that brought you last year's critically acclaimed (New York Times Critic's Pick, March, 2007), sold out revival of Orson Welles' Moby Dick - Rehearsed is now proud to bring Becket, Jean Anouilh's Tony Award-winning masterpiece, back to the New York stage.  Becket follows the tragic relationship of King Henry of England & Thomas Becket, his dearest friend who would become his greatest enemy when royal whim elevated Becket to the pinnacle of the clergy.
