Martin Browne - in this afternoon's production he is playing the part of the Fourth Tempter and Knight - at the Canterbury Festival in 1935. It was first performed in the Chapter House at Canterbury. The play deals with the last month of Becket's life. The dialogue is written almost entirely in rhyming verse and the chorus - more than anything else, the play is Greek in form - is in free verse. Robert Speaight, G.R. Schjelderup, and E. Martin Browne played in the radio version broadcast last in January 1936. See less
