Red Tape Theatre Presents the Chicago Premiere of LEAR by Young Jean Lee This May
It's King Lear. But there's no King Lear. Experimental playwright and Doris Duke Artist Award winner Young Jean Lee has penned a whimsical and psychologically disturbing look at a world in which the pater familias is noticeably absent. The children are left to run the show but they must first overcome their anxiety and regret. As the story goes off the rails, Big Bird arrives to help us make sense of the madness. This is James D Palmer's return to Lee's work after Church/Pullman, WA, one of Time Out Chicago's Top Plays of 2011.
