Throw in their ambitious, rebellious sons Richard the Lion Hearted, King John and Geoffrey of Brittany, then add Lady Alyss of Vexin and her little brother Philip II Augustus of France and you have the ultimate historical dysfunctional family. It's a veritable Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf meets King Lear ... It's Bill being Bill ... It's Hillary, before we meet Hillary ... And perhaps there's a fresh face on the horizon. Nothing like political family quarrels to warm us up for the Presidential campaign season.<BR></I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: normal"><BR></SPAN></B><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: normal"><SPAN>The performances, offered at no cost, are presented over two weekends:</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></P>
