It’s Christmas 1183 and a conniving King Henry II
(Derek Dutcher) plans a reunion where he hopes to name
his successor. He summons his scheming but
imprisoned wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (Alice
Court), his mistress, Princess Alais (Nancy Ryan), his three
sons, Richard (Mark Masselink), Geoffrey (Peter Powell),
and John (Lew Hastings), all of whom desire the throne;
and the crafty King Philip of France (Hal McCombs), who
is also Alais’ brother. Everyone present are masters of
double-dealing and deceit, so it could be a lively Yuletide.
