Henry of the House of Lancaster, King of England, sits precariously on his throne. Crowned when he was just nine months old, he has grown into a weak and unsuitable leader, surrounded by a rapacious aristocracy and riotous factions vying for supremacy within his government. Henry’s father, the brilliant general Henry V, won control of large areas of France some years ago, but the empire is crumbling under Henry’s mismanagement.

After the young king impulsively marries the clever and strong-willed Margaret of Anjou, her scheming presence at court tips the balance of grumbling factions towards an all-out civil war. When the ambitious Richard, Duke of York, takes this opportunity to press a claim to the throne, everyone must pick a side -- Lancaster or York, the Red Rose or the White.

Not only is Fighting for Love a beautiful story with beautiful music, it is a symbol of our deepest hopes for the world. While the musical focuses on two individuals, it also applies to our collective fight to overcome self-centeredness, so that we may better relate to one another and work together in harmony.

The show tells the story of two characters who speak to us through words and a moving musical performance. As they work through the obstacles in their shared relationship, they learn to connect more deeply with one another and together forge a path toward healing and happiness. Their journey is raw and real, and it underscores how essential it is to fight for love.
