It’s our March social – a mix of book club, play reading, and discussion with members of the Tempest Actors Ensemble. Join us as we take a look at James Goldman’s 1966 play, The Lion in Winter. Depicting the lives of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine during Christmas 1183. The play premiered on Broadway in 1966 with Robert Preston and Rosemary Harris and was later adapted into a 1968 film with Peter O’Toole and Katharine Harris.

Join ensemble members Jeff Brown, Drew Pirrone Brusse, Hannah Almon Mantego, Beth Resko, Mary Rose Valentine, Mike Waldhier, and Lori Wilson for refreshments, discussion, and reading. Explore themes, inspiration, and how history is portrayed in drama. And, help us decide if we should produce this play in a future season!
