This epic retelling of The Odyssey through Penelope's eyes stars one of Canada's finest classical actors, Seana McKenna, in her only stage appearance this year, directed by acclaimed actor/director Megan Follows.

BWW Review: Powerhouse Performances Deliver a Riveting LEAR
by Taylor Long
- Jan 14, 2018
I'll start by saying that LEAR was one of the most powerful theatrical experiences I've ever had. Led by a cast of Shakespeare professionals, with vast Stratford Festival experience, Groundling Theatre's production is a polished, compelling piece of theatre. Dropping 'King' from the title, LEAR explores the play with a female in power - entrapping us with the familiarity of a female monarch. Every aspect of Graham Abbey's production, designed by Peter Hartwell, serves a contemporary emphasis, seducing a modern audience to deeply feel and deeply connect with the humanity that can often feel very distant in Shakespearean drama.
