The Antaeus Company’s production of King Lear, with Harry Groener and Dakin Matthews heading two fully double-cast ensembles, has extended by one week, and will now close on August 15. Bart DeLorenzo has directed the production, which is performing at the Deaf West Theatre in NoHo.

In Shakespeare’s timeless drama, Lear’s decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters ignites a firestorm of greed and betrayal.

The company features Allegra Fulton and Kirsten Potter as Goneril; Francia DiMase and Jen Dede as Regan; Rebecca Mozo and Tessa Thompson as Cordelia; Ramon De Ocampo and John Sloan as Edgar; Daniel Bess and Seamus Dever as Edmund; JD Cullum and Stephen Caffrey as the Fool; Robert Pine and Norman Snow as Gloucester; Morlan Higgins and Gregory Itzin as Kent; Kevin Daniels and Adrian Latourelle as Cornwall; and John DeMita and Thomas Vincent Kelly as Albany.

Rounding out the cast are Adam Meyer, Brett Colbeth, Gabriel Diani, Jeff Doba, Drew Doyle, Jeff Gardner, Bruce Green, Jason Henning, John Francis O’Brien, Renata Plecha, Jeremy Shouldis and Paige Wilson.

The creative team includes Tom Buderwitz (set), Lap Chi Chu (lighting), A. Jeffrey Schoenberg (costumes), and John Zalewski (sound).
