 In an extract from the [[PACT]] 1968 souvenir programme written by Goldman, he says: "''[[The Lion in Winter]]'' takes place some six months after young Henry's death. The problem, at the time, was the selection of a new heir, and it is out of the struggle for succession that the narrative arises. In all, they were terrifying family. There were constant plots and wars between the father and his sons, fights always followed by reunion and forgiveness. They offer, for my play, a spectacle that is bitter, vengeful, passionate and loving all at once".
-First performed
+The play premiered on March 3, 1966, in New York at the Ambassador Theatre on Broadway. , starring Robert Preston and Rosemary Harris, who won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Eleanor. It was adapted by Goldman into an Academy Award-winning 1968 film of the same name, starring Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn.
