Liminis Theater Presents World Premiere of GIVE THE MAP by Robert Hawkes

The first scene of King Lear goes badly for the old man, as we know. But what the heck was he expecting, anyway? This one-act prologue to Shakespeare's version of the tale seeks to answer that very question, as the King and his Fool try desperately to control events that have not even happened yet. An old man tries to retire from public life with what he considers to be the dignity befitting his station, and sets himself up to fail. Along the way, we encounter memory, grief, denial, the power of language, clowning, fooling, and the invisibility of numbers.

At the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113, in the historic Tremont neighborhood for one weekend only, Thurs-Sat at 8 pm, Nov 17-19.
