Anachronism, simplicity in 'Lion' By ROBIN REYNOLDS
Feature Writer Loosely based on historical
facl. "The Lion in Winter" cen· ters on the reign of Henry II. King of England and the power struggle among those who wish to succeed him.
Directed by Steven K. wood . "The Lion in Winter." which is the second show on the Summer Repertory Theatre bill. opens at 8:30 p.m. tonight at University Theatre .
Written by James Goldman in 1965. "The Lion in Winter" first appeared on Broadway in 1966 where it had a short. but suc-cessful stay.
Two years later it appeared in its filmic form with -Katharine Hepburn and Peter OToole in the leading roles.
Though the scripts are the same for the film and play. the film focused more on the melodramati c elements.
whereas this production emphasizes the comedy.
.. !t·s a kind of style comedy." Lockwood said. "The jokes in the play are more complicated. the set-ups are more com-plicated and longer. and the language is more difficult. It' s the combinations of words and ideas that set-up the joke."

Lockwood continued. "You're working with two things-a slick. middle 6O's Broadway. commercial comedy and slightly stylized and self-con-scious language.
"The basic premise of it is the reastion. Interaction between these people-.how they deal with each other. the way they deal with each other. the kind of wit and style they have-con-stitues the framework upon which the show is bUilt. " he said.
Goldman's script contains
