What is the author's style in Becket, or the Honor of God by Jean Anouilh?

The language of the play is heightened conversational English as befits a dramatic play. The language is often playful and comedic at times, which contributes to tension relief in dramatic sequences. The language is straightforward plain English peppered with the jargon of the era of the play. Therefore, some terms exist in the play script, which the reader may not be familiar with, however, the context of the words and the actions associated with the words makes for easier understanding.
