2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

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.

A View From the Bridge
by Arthur Miller
directed by Stephen Cox

The tragedy of a good, simple man ( a Brooklyn longshoreman) whose subconscious sexual attraction to the seventeen year old niece that he has raised as a daughter, collides with her attraction to one of his wife’s illegal immigrant cousins whom he has taken into his home out of his own generosity and love of his wife. Extremely moving tragedy with scattered humorous moments displaying both the air of 1950’s Brooklyn and a timeless, universal sense of the human condition.
