Since Henry II could not possibly recognize himself or his brood in Goldmancolor, the playgoer should not strive to do so. Winter is rather a day in the life of that boisterous Plantagenet family in the little 12th century castle halfway down the next block. It is Christmas Eve, and a spat is in progress.

...given no indication that it does not intend to fulfil its commitments. The combination of international pressures and economic sanctions must be invoked before exacerbating the tension in Rhodesia by bloodshed. Britain itself with American support, the Commonwealth, and--above all--the United Nations must all strive to achieve an equitable solution. The crisis demands resolute action; trigger-happy recklessness--even in the cause of freedom--is just as reprehensible in Rhodesia and in the Dominican Republic...
