The Lion in Winter
A comic drama by James Goldman
October 10 to 28, 2007
Directed by Rohn Thomas
Nobody ever said family life was easy! For proof, just ask England’s Royal Family! Better yet, ask King Henry II, the center of this brilliant historic drama, who finds his 12th century family life chock full of political intrigue – not to mention a cast of scheming relatives! When the family business is the British monarchy, the sticky matter of royal succession comes center stage for the King, his wife (Eleanor of Aquitane) and their sons, Richard, Geoffrey, and John. Set during the family’s Christmas vacation, The Lion in Winter pits the strong will of a conniving royal couple against a backdrop of wicked wit, treachery, deceit, and a chess-like match of political machinations – all the juicy ingredients found in your typical dysfunctional-family drama!
