THE LION IN WINTER. A Comedy by James Goldman, direct. by Chris Watson. Auditions Sept. 13,14,15, 2005, 7:30 pm. (Callbacks by invitation, Sept.19). Perf: 3 wknds, Dec. 2-18, 2005. Crackling with wit, this brilliantly imagined Christmas Court in 1183 of England's King Henry II, with his wife Eleanor, their scheming Royal family, & France's King Philip, is great theater. It won a Tony for Rosemary Harris verbally jousting with an equally robust Robert Preston, outshines the costume-epic film version & is holiday fun for all who aren't afraid to laugh. CAST: 5 men @ ages 50-16; 2 women @ 61, 23. Visit our website for detailed info, directions.
