King John Tickets

King John, by William Shakespeare, is a history play that dramatizes the life and death of King John. He was the son of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, as well as the father of Henry III of England. He was also the King of Ireland, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou, Earl of Pembroke and lord of many other lands in France. King John was a controversial figure in his own time. He was seen as an opportunistic ruler who seized power when it was convenient for him, and he was known for his ruthlessness in putting down rebellions. He was also accused of being too soft on the Church and not doing enough to protect England from the threats posed by the French and Scottish kings. Despite these criticisms, King John was a popular king, and his death in 1216 sparked a wave of mourning across England. Shakespeare's play focuses on the last years of King John's life, and it is one of the few history plays that Shakespeare wrote that is based on a true story. The play begins with King John's decision to sign the Magna Carta, a document that limited the power of the king and gave more rights to the people. This decision angers the French king, Philip II, and leads to war between England and France. The English forces are initially successful in the war, but they are eventually defeated at the Battle of Bouvines. This defeat leads to John's capture by the French, and he is forced to sign a peace treaty that cedes land to France. Create a memory!
