Plans
Tomorrow we're off to Canterbury to see the opera King at Canterbury Cathedral. Written by Stephen Barlow (who is also conducting), the opera deals with the relationship of Beckett and Henry II. The libretto is by the performance poet, Philip Wells who is also performing in the piece, along with Philip Joll as Beckett. Performers include the cathedral choir and a sitar player. It sounds fascinating.
