SUMMARY:THE LION IN WINTER
DESCRIPTION:THE LION IN WINTER\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nMay 16 – June 13\, 2026\nBy James Goldman\nDirected by James Rice\nThis medieval drama is a modern day classic that tells the story of the Plantagenet royal family\, locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The Queen\, Eleanor of Aquitaine\, has been kept in prison since raising an army with her sons against her husband\, King Henry II. Let out for the holidays\, the family descends into sibling rivalry\, adultery\, and desperate maneuvering for the throne. As Eleanor says\, “Every family has its ups and downs\,” in this intelligent show that bursts with astringent wit and a humor that bristles and burns. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, May 22\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, May 23\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, May 24\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, May 29\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, May 30\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, May 31\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 5\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 6\, 2026\, 8pm\nSunday\, June 7\, 2026\, 2pm\nFriday\, June 12\, 2026\, 8pm\nSaturday\, June 13\, 2026\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nAGE LIMIT \nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.
