Lear

This classic tragedy of an elderly king (queen) dealing with his (her) own succession and the betrayal of all but his (her) most loyal family, is one of the greatest works of theatre in the history of Western civilization. In Gillian Eaton’s adaptation, women replace several key roles, including Ms. Eaton herself as the title role. Shakespeare’s Lear is a heartbreaking tale of family, loss, and madness.
