An aging King divides Britain among his three daughters, but his youngest refuses to flatter him enough to earn her share. What follows leads the old man and his followers on a humbling journey across the kingdom, through moondrenched meadows to the verges of steep cliffs, questioning the human capacity for growth and decline. Join the OrangeMite Shakespeare Company for its production of Shakespeare’s epic tragedy, King Lear. Be part of the final chapter in our 18-year effort to stage all of Shakespeare's 39 plays in January 2026 at the Appell Center for the Performing Arts in York, PA.
