King Lear

After a run at the Lansburgh Theatre, the Helen Hayes Awards Recommended King Lear has been extended to Synetic Theater’s home in Crystal City! Director Paata Tsikurishvili brings lightness to this dark and violent tale of a king’s descent into madness and his search for humanity.

Critics say – ‘feverishly fascinating’ (Metro Weekly), ‘hauntingly beautiful’ (DC Theatre Scene). “The spectral beauty of Tsikurishvili’s Lear is unlike any of his previous attempts…” – The Washington Post.
