Cast Set For KING LEAR at TheatreWorks

TheatreWorks New Milford will present a powerful 90-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear, running April 30 through May 23.

This timeless tragedy follows an aging king who divides his kingdom among his three daughters based on their flattery—sparking betrayal, chaos, and madness. Themes of power and family dynamics, familiar to fans of Succession, take center stage in this gripping production.

The cast includes Mark Feltch (Newtown) as King Lear, with New Milford's Vicki Sosbe (Goneril), Erin Shaughnessy (Regan), and Abi Heydenburg (Cordelia) as his daughters. With a full cast of 19 talented actors from across the state of Connecticut, additional cast members include Sam Everett of Danbury, Colin McLoone of Brookfield, and Jim Hipp of Sherman, alongside Vincent Christoni of Trumbull and Tom Heydenburg of New Milford. Also appearing are Sean Gorman of Bethel, Todd Santa Maria of Cheshire, Michael Briney of Naugatuck, and Thomas Ovitt of New Preston. The company includes David Regelmann and Billy Anderson, both of Bethel, as well as Tim Heydenburg and Isabelle Bergman of New Milford, Ron Malszka of Bridgewater, and Fred Thaler of Cornwall.

Directed by Jane Farnol, author of Shakespeare for Contemporary Theatre, this streamlined adaptation emphasizes action while preserving Shakespeare's language. Performances run weekends from April 30 through May 23.
