Join the Rudes for A Very Special Plantagenet Christmas – hosted by that premier dysfunctional family of the 12th century. Henry II of England has reprieved his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine from prison to join their scheming sons to decide who will succeed him. Joining them is Phillip II, the young King of France, to discuss whether his sister will marry one of the sons or remain Henry’s mistress. Alliances shift, betrayals abound, and no one leaves unscathed in this wickedly funny and fiercely intelligent battle for love, power, and the English crown.

Tickets: $24 General Admission, $22 Seniors/Military, $12 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.

Christmas with the Plantagenets: the premier dysfunctional family of 12th century Europe. King Henry II of England lets his Queen wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, out of prison (she led one too many nearly successful revolts against him) for a two-day Christmas court of merriment, politics and infighting at Chinon, France in 1183. They are joined by their three sons (and aspiring heirs): Richard Lionheart, Geoffrey (Count of Brittany), and John the pimple. Also in attendance are Alais Capet (both the fiancée of the as-yet-to-be-determined heir, and Henry’s current mistress) and her younger brother Philip, the new King of France, who wants her wedding performed, or her dowry back.
