PRODUCTION NOTES
James Goldman's classic play about the cost of power and politics to a dynastic ruling family is told from the modern perspective of an interracial ruling family.
Set in the private London penthouse of King Henry ll, the dysfunctional and agenda-driven siblings gather for the Christmas holiday weekend. While presenting to the world the picture of a loving and united family, the reality behind the scenes is vastly different.
Betrayals are rife, dirty secrets are revealed, lives are threatend in this witty and complex game of thrones.
