Full casting has been announced for Young Jean Lee’s LEAR, to run January 7-31 at Soho Rep. Lee will direct her script.

Lee’s LEAR focuses not on the aging Lear and Gloucester, but rather on their adult children who turned their backs on their fathers’ suffering. The company will feature Paul Lazar, April Matthis, Okwui Okpokwasili, Pete Simpson and Amelia Workman.

The creative team will include Dean Moss (choreography), David Evans Morris (scenic design), Roxana Ramseur (costume design), Raquel Davis (lighting design), and Matt Tierney (sound design).
