Who were the cast in the original production of T.S. Eliot's murder in the cathedral?

Answer 1

I have recently acquired a copy of the true first edition of Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral," which has been signed by the original cast and some of the crew. Signers include: E. Martin Browne (producer), Robert Speight (Beckett), H. W. Cranfield, Margaret Babington, William A Fordge, Teresa Arendt, Beryl Primrose-Wells, G.P. Hollingworth, Ruth Rennie, G Everal Knight, Hesketh Johnson, Edwina Thomas, and a few others difficult to make out (legibility of handwriting). I, too, would like to see the cast list if anyone has one.

Answer 2

The original production of T.S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral" in 1935 featured a cast that included Robert Speaight as Thomas Becket, and Leo McKern as the First Tempter. It was directed by E. Martin Browne.
