The Lion in Winter is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
Love, hate, politics, threats, intrigue, inheritance, conspiracies, egos and ambition. Christmas 1183. King Henry II (Jamie Couch) brings his family together, even releasing his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine (Roz Couch) from prison for the occasion. An aging Henry is attempting to determine which of the sons—Richard (Todd Phillips), Geoffrey (Kevin Helmer), or John (Chris Morones)—will be the next King of England.
Add in Henry’s mistress, Alais (Candyce Wagnon), and her brother, King Phillip II of France (Jason Couch), and navigating through the plots and ambitions is not easy. With unforgettable, larger-than-life legendary characters and rich, witty dialogue, The Lion in Winter is an experience that shouldn’t be missed.
The play is directed by Bill Small and Auditions were held at Lamp-Lite Theatre on August 17 & 18.
NOTE: This play is recommended for audiences 16 and older due to mature themes and language.
