Lion in Winter

Best known as artistic director of The Midsummer Theatre Troupe and its joyfully accessible Shakespearean comedies, Toni Hix of Batavia, a casting director and acting teacher for more than 20 years, turns her directorial talents to The Albright Theatre Company production of “The Lion in Winter.” In this tale of royal intrigue set in 1183, England’s King Henry II matches wits with his estranged wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, about which of their sons will inherit the throne.
