King Lear
Written by William Shakespeare

Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm | Sundays at 2:00pm
Declaring “I am going to divide my kingdom,” an aging king of Britain puts his daughters to the test – how much do they love him? This irresistible beginning starts a classic story about fathers and children, property, power, and possession. Seduced by the flattery of his eldest daughters, King Lear banishes his youngest, Cordelia, and unknowingly sets in motion a plot of treachery and murder. Shakespeare’s tragedy about the fall and decay of the world, tells a tale of madness, tyranny, loyalty, and love.
