Director Note

T.S. Eliot, considered by many to be one of the fathers of modern poetry, was commissioned to compose a theatre piece for performance at the 1935 Canter-bury Festival; which had, for years, featured stories centered on the 1170 martyrdom of the Archbishop Thomas Becket, the patron saint of Canterbury Cathedral. Europe, in the 1920’s, was experiencing the growing presence of the Nazis in Germany and Fascism in Italy, and Eliot was particularly intrigued by the story of Becket, a religious man who resisted the political powers of his day. In creating this piece, Eliot not only penned a classic play, and a beautiful piece of long-form poetry, but also an enduring masterpiece that formidably stands at the intersection of religion and the theatre. Murder in the Cathedral is a variation on the trag-edy of the Greek drama, where the hero causes the downfall of a community because of the hero’s own hamartia, or tragic flaw. Here, Thomas is tempted by the draw of ambition and self-preservation, but navigates around these selfish desires in order to uphold the beliefs of his community. The play uses the scale, verse, use of choral odes that are borrowed directly from the Greek, while breaking from the traditional in its depiction of a martyr’s death, and the direct-address undercutting of the knight’s justifications. Our attempt, in the production, to use non-representative and non-realistic techniques, inspired by the work of avant-garde theatre directors (Peter Sellars, Robert Wilson, Richard Foreman), was driven by the desire to match the epic nature of the play and its stylized use of verse language. The work of these directors has less to do with realistic represen-tation than the accentuated presentation of the essential elements of the play. The style we employ is

of these directors has less to do with realistic represen-tation than the accentuated presentation of the essential elements of the play. The style we employ is to specifically highlight and exaggerate those elements; such as the smoothness of temptation, the ominous approach of the knights, and the grand scale of the cathedral itself. It is often common to assume that the director is the one who has sat in an office somewhere and dreamed up the vision of what happens on stage, fully formed; that the director comes into rehearsal with this vision, and tells everyone what to do. My process as a director has more to do with facilitating the creativity of the entire cast of collaborators, and to function as editor to balance the weight of ideas. This show would literally not be the same without any one of this crew and cast, and for their efforts, I am immensely grateful. I cannot express enough thanks to my Assistant Director, Kerri, for all of the hard work and creativity she brought to this process.

Thoma BeckettThomas Becket was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1662 until his death in 1670. His death was the result of conflict with King Henry II over the rights and privileges of the church in England. The archbishop of York and the bishops of London and Salisbury held the coronation of Henry the Young King in York, in violation of Canterbury’ privilege of coronation, and Becket had all three bishops excommunicated. Becket continued to excommunicate the kings allies in the church, until he was assassinated in Canterbury Cathedral by fol-lowers of the king. Pope Alexander canonized Thomas Becket shortly after his death, elevating him to saint-hood. Canterbury, because of its religious history, had always seen a large number of pilgrims. However, after the death of Thomas Becket, the number of pilgrims visiting the town grew rapidly. - Wikipedia

T. . EliotBorn in Missouri, T.S. Eliot was a literary critic, a play-wright, and arguably the most important English-language poet of the 20th century. While at Harvard and Oxford, Eliot studied philosophy and poetry. Even though he became a British citizen at age 39, he still considered America to be his primary source of influ-ence. During the writing of “Murder in the Cathedral”, Eliot drew heavily on the writings of Edward Grim, who was an eyewitness to the assassination of Thomas Becket. The play was commissioned by E. Martin Browne to be written for the Canterbury Festival in 1935. (wikipedia) The play itself can be viewed as a reaction to the time of rising fascism in Central Eu-rope, as a protest to individuals in affected countries to oppose the Nazi regime’s subversion of the ideals of the Christian Church. (Stewart, Gaither. “Murder in the Cathedral or How the Sainthood of the Archbish-op Became the Epiphany of the King )

Cantebury Cathedral

to specifically highlight and exaggerate those elements; such as the smoothness of temptation, the ominous approach of the knights, and the grand scale of the cathedral itself.

It is often common to assume that the director is the one who has sat in an office somewhere and dreamed up the vision of what happens on stage, fully formed; that the director comes into rehearsal with this vision, and tells everyone what to do. My process as a director has more to do with facilitating the creativity of the entire cast of collaborators, and to function as editor to balance the weight of ideas. This show would literally not be the same without any one of this crew and cast, and for their efforts, I am immensely grateful.

I cannot express enough thanks to my Assistant Director, Kerri, for all of the hard work and creativity she brought to this process.
