THE
LION IN WINTER follows King Henry II, (Steve Vann) his wife, Eleanor of
Aquitaine, (Maureen McGovern) and their three sons, Richard, Geoffrey,
and John, during one christmas in 1183.
"At its root, it is a strong love story," McGovern said of the James Goldman play. "It's the story of these two people who loved each other very deeply but also couldn't stand to be in the same room with one another. It's the ultimate dysfunctional family whose members are in a constant struggle for power and love."

REVIEW
McGovern performance rules over superb
'Lion in Winter'
by Franci Hart , The Oklahoman
McGovern's performance as the saucy, enigmatic Eleanor carried the production. She captured perfectly the complexities of a woman who would do anything for power yet could love passionately.
