The Colony Theatre (Burbank, CA)
For King Henry II, Christmas in 1183 is the least wonderful time of the year. In James Goldman’s scathing drama of strategic manipulation, The Lion in Winter, the English ruler is faced with choosing his successor as his three conniving sons gather for the winter holiday. Caught between his imprisoned wife Eleanor, released from jail for this special occasion, and his mistress Alais, Henry finds himself navigating a treacherous web of lies and one-upmanship, as each family member schemes after their own agenda. A 1968 film adaptation of this witty, powerful work garnered Katherine Hepburn the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Eleanor.
