[math-ias] Fireside Play Reading Tonight

[Institute for Advanced Study]

Dear Play Reading Participants and very welcome Newcomers, 

 

Today, December 13 at 7:00 p.m. we will be having our monthly Play Reading
in the Fuld Hall Common Room. We will be reading the dramatic comedy The
Lion in Winter, by James Goldman. All are warmly welcome! If you prefer to
just listen to the play instead of reading a role, come and sit back with
a glass of wine and some 'nibbles'.

 

The Lion in Winter tells the story of the Plantagenet family who are
locked in a struggle over the succession to the throne that each knows may
precipitate the judicious killing of any of the losers.

The queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an
army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the
play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight
over both a kingdom, as well as King Henry's paramour during the Christmas
of 1183. Which will prove stronger, the group's family ties, weakened by
years of intrigue, or the murderous political realities of succession?   

I much look forward to find out with you this evening!
