Show dates Nov 17, 18 & 19 and Nov 24, 25 & 26, 2023 – Performed at Knox Presbyterian Church Dunnville

In its 50th year, Dunnville Community Theatre is proud to stage James Goldman’s classic play “The Lion in Winter.”

DCT is back on stage with something a little different: a historical (and sometimes hysterical) drama.

The year is 1183 AD. Henry II, the aging king of England, has brought his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, from her prison to share the Christmas holiday with himself and their children.
Henry’s mistress, Alias whose dowry is the valuable county of Vixen, has been promised in marriage to his son Richard, and Philip, King of France, is on his way to demand the wedding.
Eleanor wants Richard to have the throne. 
Henry wants John to have the throne.
And to complicate things – everybody has a knife AND an agenda all the time and there’s some real schemers in the group.
So…
Who gets the Vexin? Who gets the Aquitaine? Who is to inherit the kingdom? Who gets to marry Alais?
Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone?
Not bloody likely.
And you thought your family Christmases could be awkward…
