THEATRE: Roar power in royal drama

Audiences will be transported to medieval France by the Wyndham Theatre Company’s latest performance.

The company takes to the stage of the Wyndham Cultural Theatre from June 4-7 to perform The Lion in Winter. Set in 1183, the play depicts the personal and political conflicts of England’s King Henry II, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine and their children Richard, Geoffrey and John as they try to work out who will be Henry’s successor.

WTC president Alan Thompson said the company was pleased to be performing at the cultural centre this year.

“These partnerships mean that the company can continue to bring engaging theatre to the Wyndham community,” he said.

The curtain rises on The Lion in Winter at 7.30pm on June 5 and 6 and 2pm and 7.30pm on June 7.

Tickets, at $35 for adults and $20 for concession, are available from www.wyncc.com.au
