What is the show about? 
​The Duke of Vienna asks a nobleman, Angelo, to assume leadership of the city and uphold the law while he—the Duke—is away traveling. He commands Angelo to uphold the law, and reveals that he plans to remain in the city in secret, disguised as a friar, to see how the city responds to what he expects will be Angelo's more strict upholding of the law.

Some time after the Duke's departure, Angelo imposes a death sentence on Claudio, who has impregnated his wife-to-be, Juliet, before their marriage. Lucio, a friend of Claudio's, relays this news to Isabella, Claudio's sister who has begun training to be a nun. Isabella's religious beliefs cause her to disapprove of Claudio's transgression, but Lucio persuades her to beg Angelo for clemency. She pleads her case in front of Angelo, who appears to grow gradually more sympathetic. He tells her to return tomorrow to hear his decision.

The lion in winter


​Set during Christmas 1183 at Henry II of England's castle in Chinon, Anjou, Angevin Empire, the play opens with the arrival of Henry's wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, whom he has had imprisoned since 1173. The story concerns the gamesmanship between Henry, Eleanor, their three surviving sons Richard, Geoffrey, and John, and their Christmas Court guest, the King of France, Philip II Augustus (French: Philippe Auguste), who was the son of Eleanor's ex-husband, Louis VII of France (by his third wife, Adelaide). Also involved is Philip's half-sister Alais (by Louis VII's second wife Constance), who has been at court since she was betrothed to Richard at age eight, but has since become Henry's mistress.
