James Goldman's bitingly witty play A LION IN WINTER has been a favorite of mine most of my life. Written in 1966, this show has everything in my opinion; warring family, a larger than life king, a queen who is, arguably, the most famous woman in history, grasping, greedy princes, all wrapped up in a real life, high stakes game of thrones. The biggest plus is some of the best dialogue ever written for the stage, and roles that are on every actor's bucket list. As a devotee of medieval history, A LION IN WINTER, is quite simply my cup of tea. The legendary Plantagenet family known as the 'Devil's Brood' on stage at the same time? It doesn't get better. Unfortunately The Wimberley Players production is sadly lacking in the passion that runs through the veins of Goldman's work like life's blood.

James Goldman's modern classic dramatic comedy set in 1183 as England's King Henry II observes Christmas at his castle with his estranged and imprisoned wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, their three sons (Richard, Geoffrey and John), King Philip II and his half-sister, Alais, who is engaged to Richard while being King Henry's mistress. 

The Lion In Winter by James Goldman reigns over Cape May Stage August 8th-September 14th playing Tuesday-Sunday at 8 PM. As a historical fiction, this modern classic pits Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, after a decade of imprisonment for her part in a rebellion against her husband King Henry II of England. Eleanor arrives at court during a Christmas furlough and proceeds to scheme to challenge the King's authority and his choice of heir to the throne.

 Tickets for the first two productions of Pioneer Theatre Company's 2018-2019 season, and the theatre's add-on productions, are now on sale to the general public.

San Francisco's 42nd Street Moon (Daren A.C. Carollo and Daniel Thomas, Co-Executive Directors) has announced the cast and creative team for the upcoming special engagement of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical FOLLIES in Concert.

Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204) ruled one of the wealthiest territories in England, was sought after by Lords and Kings alike, became Queen Consort of both France and England, and is considered one of the most powerful and wealthy women of her era, despite spending 16 years imprisoned by her second husband Henry II, from 1173-1189. Her intelligence, wisdom, wit, and powers of persuasion jump off the history pages and directly into the context of the modern feminist movement. As far as possible from a shrinking violet, Eleanor persevered for 80 years to outlive four kings: two husbands and two sons. THE LION IN WINTER by James Goldman explores the fascinating life of a passionate woman who refused to be a passive prisoner in her own home - both literally and figuratively. THE LION IN WINTER performs at The Dairy Arts Center 2590 Walnut St, Boulder, Colorado. Tickets are on sale now at bit.ly/theupstartcrow or by calling 303.444.7328.
