Two aging fathers--one a King, one his courtier--reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, and their worlds crumble. Tender, violent, moving, and shocking, King Lear is considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written. This will be an explosive, charged, and contemporary retelling of Shakespeare's epic masterpiece in the intimate setting of the Minerva Theatre.
