...ALWAYS a pleasure to see what a theater company, professional or otherwise, does with a play which arguably cannot be lone wrong. Such a play, at least on the surface, is Lion in Winter, James Goldman's sparklingly written drama of the savage political and emotional infightings of a family of dazzling twelfth-century English monarchs. It would take a heavy directorial hand, indeed, to dull the brilliant salvos of dialogue that flash from member to member of the illustrious Plantagenets--Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, the future Richard Lionheart.

That spirit can find nothing new to focus on, never mind to rally around. Social issues have always been slightly suspect in rock. But the upheavals of the 1960s, like Viet Nam and civil rights, redirected and rejustified rock...
