By William Shakespeare
July 7 - November 25, 2016
Shakespeare's profound exploration of the meaning of human life. King Lear is both timeless and unnervingly contemporary. A penetrating family drama and powerful political commentary, Lear's relentless gaze at man's frailty and inhumanity conveys the necessity, sanctity, and strength of human love.
