The Lion in Winter or Lion in Summer... is there really a Goldman Summer?

Question:The oh-so-honest Wikipedia site mentions on its page for James Goldman that he wrote a play titled the Lion in Summer in 1967...

I've only known about the Lion in Winter... is there a sequel/prequel, continuation/elaboration of the Plantagenet play? If so, could someone help me find out how to get a hold of a script? Thanks!

Sorry, but I believe Wikkipedia (as it often does) has led you on a wild goose chase. There is no reference ANYWHERE that the late James Goldman EVER wrote a play titled "Lion in Summer"....Having spent many, many years in the theatre, I have NEVER heard the claim made outside of Wikkipedia....and can find no reference to it in my own considerable theartrical library.
One possibility is that whoever submitted the info to Wikki, might somewhere have read an artical ABOUT Goldman entitile "The Lion in Summer" and just got confused...but that is a long shot.

I can tell you that in 1969 Kathrine Hepburn won best actress for A Lion in Winter. Babra Streisand won best actress also for Funny Girl. It was I think the second time there was a tie for best actress. I don't know about a script, but I'm sure you can youtube it.

Ahhh the joys of a public encyclopedia, sorry to say you have been misinformed.
