The Lion In Winter

Show Information

It’s Christmas, 1183. In a cold castle in France, King Henry II gathers his brilliant, fiery queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine (temporarily released from prison) for a holiday that’s anything but merry. Their three sons arrive, each desperate to inherit the throne, and what begins as a family reunion quickly turns into a dazzling battle of strategy, wit, and will power. Love and power collide as alliances shift by the hour and every conversation hides a trap. With razor-sharp dialogue, biting humor, and deep emotion, The Lion in Winter is a thrilling portrait of a royal family locked in a timeless struggle for control–over an empire, and over one another. The Lion In Winter. Where every word is a weapon and every glance a battle.
