Depicting a once-great ruler's descent into madness, William Shakespeare’s King Lear is one of the most powerful tragedies ever staged. King Lear has ruled for many years. As age overtakes him, he divides his kingdom amongst his children. Misjudging their loyalty, he soon finds himself stripped of all the trappings of state, wealth and power that had defined him. Lear is faced with the harsh reality that the daughter he has banished is the only one that can save him and his kingdom from destruction.
The cast includes: Raphael Parry as King Lear, Nicole Berastequi as Goneril, Whitney Holotik as Regan, Thi Le as Cordelia, T.A. Taylor as Gloucester, Michael Stimac as Cornwall, Omar Padilla as Albany, Carson Wright as Edgar, Ben Stegmair as Edmund, John Flores as Fool, Shawn Gann as Kent, Rudy Lopez as Burgundy/Oswald, Doak Rapp as King of France, and Ethan Norris as Lear Understudy/Male Swing.
