The Lion in Winter Plays Long Beach Playhouse, Half-priced Preview Night Held 11/5
King Henry II of England and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine have three sons: Richard, Geoffrey, and John. Henry wants his kingdom to stay united after his death; each son wants to be sole ruler. England faces eventual revolution. Henry favors youngest son John, and Eleanor favors the eldest Richard. The truce between these extraordinary and competitive parents disintegrates while middle son Geoffrey finds room to maneuver to win the crown in spite of them all.
As director Michael Ross sums it up, "The characters in The Lion in Winter are a Textbook example of a „dysfunctional family?. The Lion in Winter shows that what was prevalent in royal families in the 12th Century is still prevalent in many modern day families in the 21st Century."
