Back by critical acclaim Addhock Theatre Company return with their second theatre tour of James Goldman’s The Lion In Winter.  Written in 1966, this witty, fast paced drama inspired the film of the same name starring Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn and has become a modern classic.

“Well – what shall we hang? The holly or each other?”

It’s Christmas Eve, 1183 and a family are gathering for the festive season, but there’s more at stake than turkey and tinsel. A crown, a princess and the richest province on the continent are all up for grabs. Henry II is getting old. His three sons are snapping at his heels. His wife, his mistress and his arch enemy are all under the same roof.

“Well – things look a little bleak for Henry, don’t they?”

Can the old lion outwit them all and hang on to his crown, his kingdom and his beautiful mistress?

“It’s 1183 and we’re barbarians!”

Let battle commence!
