The historical material on Henry’s reign is considerable in so far as battles, plots, wars, treaties and alliances are concerned. This play — while simplifying the political manoeuvring combining a meeting of the French and English Kings in 1183 with a Royal Court held at Windsor in the following year into a Christmas Court that never was — is accurately based on the available data.

The facts we have, while clear enough as to the Outcome of relationships — such things as who kills whom and when — say little if anything about the quality and content of those relationships. The people in this play, their character and passions, while consistent with the facts we have, are fictions.

The play, finally, contains anachronisms in speech, thought, habit, custom and so on. Those the author is aware of — the way, for instance, Christmas is celebrated — are deliberate and not intended to outrage the historical aspects of the script.

THE COMMUNITY CENTRE, SCHOOL ROAD at 7.30 p.m.

Tickets £1.50 (OAP/Children £1 .00)

Open air performance, but indoors if wet.
