| Description |
This highly literate, soundly theatrical play takes a somewhat askance and unconventional look at Henry II, King of England, with his scheming vindictive wife Eleanor of Aquitane and their three conniving sons. This is a comedy of great wit and savagery. A theatrical piece in the best tradition, pitting actor against actor in verbal duels of dazzling virtuosity, it demands playing on several levels. |
