Well – what shall we hang? The holly or each other?”

Set during Christmas 1183, this great American classic—filled with ruthless scheming, deception and romance—is the ultimate fight for the throne. Join Henry II of England, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their three sons for a sharp-tongued and witty look at how dysfunctional the royal family can be.

This wickedly biting "domestic comedy" of a dysfunctional family dynasty in the year 1183 was nominated for two Tony Awards when it opened on Broadway in 1966, and later was made into an Academy Award winning film.
