TAME THE 'LION'
Remember the film of 'The Lion in Winter' by James
Goldman? The year is 1183. Henry II (Peter O'Toole), his estranged wife,
Eleanor of Aquitaine (Katharine Hepburn), their three sons, Richard,
Geoffrey and John, Henry's current mistress, Alais, and her half-brother
King Philip of France gather for a family Christmas celebration in
Chinon Castle. They proceed to play a complex game of politics, power
and possessions, where the prizes are the Aquitaine, Alais and the
throne of England. The Christmas wine is in the pot and the added spices
are that Eleanor has been imprisoned in an English Castle for the last
ten years for plotting with Richard and Geoffrey to overthrow Henry; and
Alais is betrothed to Richard. |
