The Lion in Winter at The Stage at Island Park

Insecure siblings ghting for their parents’ attention, bickering spouses who can’t stand to be together or apart, adultery -- Goldman’s classic is full of modern relevance. Comedic in tone, the story is set during Christmas 1183 at Henry II of England’s palace. Let out only for holidays, Queen Eleanor has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband the King. Family strife becomes an art form as Eleanor and Henry maneuver against each other to position their favorite son in line for succession.
