Three Sons. One Crown.
What family doesn't have its ups and downs!

The Lion in Winter

One and all, you are invited to a special staged reading of William Goldman's famous play, The Lion in Winter. This wickedly witty play explores the Plantagenet family's chaotic 1183 Christmas gathering in one of their French castles in Chinon. Henry II has brought his imprisoned wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their three scheming children, Richard the Lionheart, Geoffrey, and the youngest son John. Here, the three scheming sons plot, betray, and verbally spar over who will inherit the throne.

The cast includes:

Henry II—Paul Kaufmann
Eleanor of Aquitaine—Linda Khoury
Richard—Chris Aimone
Geoffrey--Jon Whit McClinton
John-Taylor Wilson
King Philip—Patrick Dodds
Alais—Catherine Hunsinger

📅 Sunday, June 28�🕒 3:00 PM�
📍 Columbia Music Festival Association�914 Pulaski St., Columbia, SC
🎟️ Admission is free!

Join us for an afternoon of royal rivalry, razor-sharp wit, and family drama fit for a crown.
