From one of the greatest writers of all time comes the ultimate family drama. As age overtakes Lear, he divides his kingdom amongst his daughters. Misjudging their loyalty, he finds himself stripped of all that defined him. Now this once-revered king is trapped in an emotional hurricane ravaging his head, home, and heart. With a full ensemble of players and Producing Artistic Director Hal Cropp as Lear, the company ventures forth on this legendary classic for the first time in Commonweal history.
- William Shakespeare
