“One of the finest shows in recent seasons, not just in Chicagoland but in all of America.” – The Wall Street Journal
“The cagey characters, whose duplicity, betrayals, manipulations and infidelities make the dysfunctional Westons of August: Osage County look like the adoring Norwegians in “I Remember Mama.” – Daily Herald
“To witness the rip-roaring spectacle in all its treacherousness and self-destruction you need only head to Writers' Theatre for this zesty revival.” - Chicago Sun-Times
It is Christmas in England, 1183, and the aging monarch, Henry II, brings together his exiled wife Queen Eleanor and his three sons in order to plan for his succession. The ensuing power struggles and attempts to craft political alliances engage you in the dramatic exploration of the ultimate family gathering. Goldman creates a modern fiction from the circumstances of the past resulting in a deliciously witty and resonant evening of theatre. Director Rick Snyder brings a wonderfully authentic touch to this very contemporary play.
