The fictional historical drama, famously made as a film in 1968 winning Katherine Hepburn yet another Oscar as best actress, was written for the Broadway stage in 1966 and later had a revival on Broadway again in 1999. It has never been shown in London's West End however.
The play tells the story of the 12th-century queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine who returns to court after being imprisoned by her husband King Henry II for ten years and the plots for the throne.
