If the British tabloids had been around in 1183, they would have printed scorching, scandalous front page stories about the royals of the time - namely King Henry II, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their sons, the Plantagenet Princes ...to say nothing of the handsome young King of France who spent a hot Christmas weekend at their castle at Chinon.

“The Lion in Winter” takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day of the year 1183 in the castle of King Henry II of England , located in Chinon, in the English-ruled region of France . The play explores the interpersonal dynamics and political wrangling of King Henry; his wife Eleanor, whom he has kept imprisoned in a tower for the past ten years; and their three sons, who are vying for the privilege of being named heir to the English throne. Eleanor, who has been let out of prison to celebrate Christmas with her family, favors Richard as heir, while Henry favors John. To complicate matters, the young King Philip II of France has arrived to remind Henry of a treaty he signed many years earlier, promising to marry his heir to Philip’s sister Alais. However, Alais has been Henry’s mistress for the past seven years, and Henry is hesitant to marry her off to any of his sons.

Kentwood Players is a non-profit community theater organization in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

History

Kentwood Players got its start (and its name) when members of the PTA at Kentwood Elementary School in Westchester, having presented a play at the school, decided to keep on presenting plays. So in 1950 they founded a community theater organization, which has been going strong ever since.

The young organization went through a series of home stages—a barn, a pump house, and a restaurant—until 1960, when the players bought an old warehouse and transformed it into a 112-seat proscenium-stage theater, the Westchester Playhouse.
