THE LION IN WINTER
Dec 1-17

Imagine a king who controls an empire stretching from the northern borders of Scotland to the southern borders of France, but has absolutely no control over his own family. With an imprisoned wife, an eager mistress and three sons battling for the throne, King Henry II of England proves that dysfunctional families were every bit as prevalent in the twelfth century as today. The Lion in Winter transports audiences to the Christmas court at Chinon Castle, where a family war is waging— just in time for all the peace and goodwill that the holiday season brings. Appropriate for all ages.

PICT Classic Theatre was founded as Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre, Inc., in 1996. It was founded in reaction to the closing of the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival and in order to provide a venue for local artists to perform classical works, a mission that has stayed constant throughout the years.

They find it meaningful to place the audience and performers together, the moving parts inside the works. This production is at 200 N. Highland Ave,  corner of N. Highland Avenue and Broad Street.
