Character Breakdown
Available Roles - THE LION IN WINTER
The roles of HENRY and ELEANOR are not available and have already been cast
RICHARD (Male, 21-30)
The warrior. Henry's eldest surviving son and Eleanor's favorite. A brilliant military mind with a fierce temper and deep complexity beneath his swagger. Physically commanding presence preferred. The most volatile of the brothers.
​
GEOFFREY (Male, 18-30)
The schemer. The middle son and the smartest person in the room—he knows it, and so does everyone else. Witty, caustic, and often overlooked. He uses words as weapons better than anyone. The most dangerous because he's underestimated.
​
JOHN (Male, 16-30)
The baby. Henry's favorite and the youngest, spoiled and desperate to prove himself. Can play charming or petulant, often both at once. Eager for power but lacks the spine of his brothers. The most vulnerable.
​
PHILIP (Male, 17-30)
The King of France. Young, calculating, and deceptively sophisticated. Holds his own against this legendary family with cool intelligence. Smooth, controlled, but with steel underneath. The outsider who may hold all the cards.
​
ALAIS (Female, 21-30)
The pawn. Princess of France, raised in the English court, and caught between kingdoms and kings. Philip's sister, Richard's former betrothed, and Henry's mistress. Resilient, romantic, and trapped. The heart of the play who refuses to break. Physical intimacy required for this role.
​
All roles require strong actors capable of handling complex, rapid-fire dialogue and emotional depth. This is an ensemble piece—every role is essential.
