The public has always had a
fascination with the ruling class of
England, or as they’re called. The
Royals. Even today, the late Prin
cess Diana is still frequently in the

comes The Lion i n Winter, a play by
James Goldman being performed
by the Lakewood Theatre Co. in
Lake Oswego through Feb. 19.
This ingenious drama, directed
by Bill Dobson, pits King Henry II
(Ted Roisum) against his strong-
willed wife Eleanor of Aquitaine
(Rebecca Becker) and their three
heirs in a 12th-century struggle for
love and power.
Showtimes are at 8 p.m. Thurs
days through Saturdays and Sun
days at 7 p.m. There will be Sunday
