King Henry II of England (Rodger Hoopman) has three
sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine: Richard, Geoffrey and John. He wants the
kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule
and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. Henry favors the
youngest son while Eleanor favors the eldest. The middle son hopes to
play both ends against each other and come out on top. Henry would like
to have another heir by his mistress, but that would only add to the
contenders. Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the
truce between a matchless king and queen. This classic is glorified in
language that is brilliant in its ability to characterize, its
rhetorical impact, its actability, and its generative power.
