Following his award-winning, sold-out performance as Dick Gregory inTurn Me Loose,Joe Morton(ABCs Scandal, the legendaryBrother from Another Planet, Netflixs The Politician) returns to The Wallis in the title role of Shakespeares greatest tragedyKing Lear. The Bram Goldsmith Theater has been reconfigured to transport the audience to an immersive, futureAmerican dystopiariddled with environmental catastrophe and social chaos.Lear, once a skilled geopolitical leader, has been reduced to a dazed and infuriatedwanderer exposed to the elements, and is forced to grapple withviolent power struggles and a dysfunctional family. This radical reinvention of Shakespeares greatest play explores questions of truth, love and power, and offers a glimpse of redemption.
