Based on historical events, this witty, tragically hilarious comedy tells the (mostly true) story of Henry II's infamous Royal Christmas Court at Chinon Castle in 1183. In a dramatic battle of wits, the characters fight for the right to be the next King of England.
King Henry wants John on the throne, Queen Eleanor wants Richard, but no one wants Geoffrey, leaving him free to make deals with Philip, the new King of France.
What will become of Britain?
Who will be the next king - Richard, Geoffrey, or John? Will Henry kill them all first...?
