1975 ‘Murder in the Cathedral’ – T.S.Eliot
The first of three college productions to be held in the
chapel. A programme note explained the rationale:-
Most memorable in this production was the
extraordinarily powerful performance of Kevin
Lynch (’76) as Archbishop Thomas Becket.
The success of the location – stage/chapel,
audience/congregation, just as Eliot intended it – was
evident in the number among the audience who
blessed themselves at the conclusion of Thomas’s
Christmas sermon.
