Murder in the Cathedral is arguably the theatrical if not the poetic masterpiece of Thomas Stearns Eliot's (1888 - 1965). First produced in 1935 in Canterbury Cathedral, it has remained a masterpiece of English drama.

The play deals with the conflict between two former friends St Thomas Beckett and King Henry II which ends in murder.
