King Lear is the politically resonant, timeless and searing story of an aging monarch, a kingdom divided and a family in turmoil. Lear’s decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters ignites a firestorm of greed and betrayal. Displaced as king and cast out as patriarch, Lear discovers the fragility of familial bonds as he descends into madness. One of Shakespeare’s most epic tragedies, this story will keep you glued to your seat with its soaring language, moving poetry, and iconic characters!
