King Lear

Basing his play on an ancient tale of filial love and betrayal, Shakespeare reaches deep into the human condition to bring us a play of unparalleled depth and power. The plots–Lear and his daughters, Gloucester and his sons–unfold in a world in which the order of Nature is assailed by the actions of Man. The results are a descent into chaos and madness. Eliot Norton Award winner Rick Lombardo directs Austin Pendleton in this inventive and powerful production.
