By William ShakespeareDirected by Nicole RicciardiFeaturing Christopher LloydNothing will come of nothing, speak again. King LearThe once powerful King Lear chooses to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, and so begins one of Shakespeares most moving tragedies. At the crucial point of relinquishing his realm, Lear demands to know which of his daughters loves him the most. His ambitious older daughters answer with false praise and lavish flattery, however his youngest daughter, who does truly love him, answers with honesty. Wildly unsatisfied with her response, Lears rage sets in motion catastrophic consequences. Ultimately stripped of his privilege and its trappings, Lear must reckon with his own humanity.Generously sponsored by Deborah and Bill Ryan.King Lear will be performed outdoors at the NEW SPRUCE THEATRE.
