The Lion in Winter by James Goldman

The Lichfield Players proudly present
THE LION IN WINTER
by James Goldman

It’s 1183, and King Henry II has a problem: he’s getting older, his sons are scheming, and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, is back from prison for the holidays. Time to pick an heir… over Christmas dinner...

Sharp as a sword and wickedly funny, 'The Lion in Winter' is a biting comedy about power, politics, and family dysfunction that proves some things never change — especially at Christmas.

Think Succession meets Blackadder, with a crown at stake.

Intelligent, witty and full of twisted family fun, this is historical comedy at its finest.

Wednesday 1st October - Saturday 4th October
