BREAKDOWN
Synopsis:
Storm, Still is a fast-and-loose reclamation of KING LEAR- part eulogy, part drinking game, part child's game of pretend. While cleaning out their father's backyard, three estranged sisters perform a reimagined version of Shakespeare's classic, digging up an intimate portrait of the ways we confront grief and old grudges with magic and make believe.
