ABOUT THE SHOW: King Lear meets Succession in this modern staging of Shakespeare's classic text. As an aging monarch slowly slips into insanity, his successors struggle for crumbs of power. The corporate world filled in for the monarchy in this rendering, drawing attention to the Shakespearean power dynamics that persist in spheres like business and politics. The show ran for one weekend in April of 2023 and braved the elements during outdoor performances.
