Synopsis:
The comedic and dramatic play by James Goldman tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit England. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II, who lets her out only for holidays. The play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henry’s mistress during the Christmas of 1183.
The production staff includes Costume design by Jennifer Johnson; Scene design by James Means. Lighting and Sound design by Eddie McIntyre.
The Lion in Winter is written by James Goldman and directed by Mason Joiner. The production will be performed by students and alumni from Delgado’s Theatre Program, as well as members of the New Orleans theatre community. The Lion in Winter is produced with special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
