	Sahlins staging Murder in the Cathedral at Rockefeller Chapel
		Written in 1935 to be staged in England's Canterbury Cathedral, Murder in the Cathedral is Eliot's dramatization of the power struggle between church and state and the murder of Thomas a Becket (1118-1170), England's archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to 1170.
		In a cathedral, with the words being paramount -- including in the middle of the show the sermon that Thomas gives at the pulpit, which becomes then the sermon that the audience is receiving -- it's quite spectacular.
		Tickets for Murder in the Cathedral are $12 general admission, $9 for students, University alumni, Court Theatre subscribers and groups of 10 or more.

	WashingtonPost.com: `Cathedral's' Critical Mass (via CobWeb/3.1 vn1.cs.wustl.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		"Murder" is more declamatory than dramatic, as well suited to a reading as to a full theatrical production -- but director Bill Largess, working closely with lighting designer Marianne Meadows, has come up with an effectively stylized presentation and even manages to insert some welcome humor into the second act.
		Becket was slain in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, supposedly at the order of Henry II, who later performed a dramatic penance for the deed.
		A poetic genius as well as a literary critic of enormous influence, Eliot was hardly too modest to appreciate his own gifts, and "Murder in the Cathedral" is a ruthless self-examination of the folly of egotism.

		Henry knew the Church was lenient on its clerics, even in cases of murder and sexual depravity, and insisted that ecclesiastical criminals be subject to secular courts.

		T.S. Eliot's readers-theatre verse piece Murder in the Cathedral was never truly designed to be a fully staged play, but try telling that to the many amateur groups who've produced it in the past five decades.
		This 1952 film adaptation valiantly attempts to open up the piece to full cinematic effect, but the budget and resources are too skimpy, and the semi-professional actors too uneasy before the cameras.
		Murder in the Cathedral is no better or worse than a junior-college pageant; the story is given fuller, superior treatment in the 1964 costumer Becket.
