Winter warmers at The Rose Centre

Winter brings some cold evenings and of course the twilight commutes home. But think about it, on the 1st of June it was only 120 days 'til daylight saving is back. In the meantime, why not take in “The Lion in Winter”.

It's Christmas 1183, and King Henry II (Peter O'Toole) is planning to announce his successor to the throne. The jockeying for the crown, though, is complex. Henry has three sons and wants his boy Prince John (Nigel Terry) to take over. Henry's wife, Queen Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn), has other ideas. She believes their son Prince Richard (Anthony Hopkins) should be king. As the family and various schemers gather for the holiday, each tries to make the indecisive king choose their option.

Playing at 7.30pm June 5 to 8 and 4pm June 9. Tickets available only at eventfinda.co.nz; search “The Lion in Winter”.
