The Lion in Winter

King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine: Richard (the Lionhearted), Geoffrey and John. He wants the kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. Henry favors the youngest son while Eleanor favors the eldest. Come see which son will get the throne. The Lion In Winter is a work of intelligence, astringent wit and much theatrical skill.
