An audio performance depends on the vocal range of the actors. Herein the focus is on Denis O'Hare (Thomas Becket) and Simon Templeman (Henry II, his king), and the richness of the production is primarily achieved by their interaction, and how the play is staged for the ear. Careful attention is also given to volume of voices to suggest, not just physical, but emotional distance. A few selective sound effects sketch crowded courts or cathedrals into being.
