THE LION IN WINTER Opens On February 9th At The Windham Theatre Guild

Downton Abbey meets Game of Thrones...it's a modern-day classic that features dungeons, adultery and sibling rivalry. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action - the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family who are locked in a free for all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. With Eleanor out of prison only for holidays, the play focuses on the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom, as well as King Henry's paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says, "every family has its ups and downs," and this royal family is no exception.

The original 1966 Broadway production was a Tony Award winner, followed by the 1968 Academy Award winning film version. Rob Grgach makes his WTG directorial debut with a talented cast including Angela Dias, Geoff Roelants, Matt Bessette, Nathan Cusson, Nick Luberto, Jennifer MacPherson and Nicholas Bennett. Jack Nardi and Tricia Hul have outdone themselves with a stunning set that captures the period and mood of the production. The show runs from February 9th to 24th and you don't want to miss the opportunity to see this seldom done play.
