'Spotlight on Becket' at Holmdel Theatre Company

Instead of their usual monthly staged reading, Holmdel Theatre Company is holding an open rehearsal of its upcoming show "Becket." The play, by Jean Anouilh, tells the story of the tragic relationship between King Henry II of England and the introspective intellectual Thomas Becket, who had been his dearest friend but became his implacable enemy when intrigue raised him to the hierarchy of the church.

The event entails an open rehearsal, discussion, and exploration of the show's themes. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. tonight, March 7. Admission is free; coffee will be served. The monthly readings will resume next month with a reading of "Roundelay," by Alan Ayckbourn, at 7 p.m. April 4.

The reading will occur at the Duncan Smith Theatre on 36 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel.
