Cast Creative Edit

Shakespeare’s tragedy, King Lear, set in the Canada of 1608—the year the play was written—with a cast of Aboriginal actors from across the country, including the renowned August Schellenberg as Lear. In this powerful family conflict, an aging father—dividing his kingdom—demands proof of love from his daughters, thereby unleashing a tempestuous tragedy that even a king can’t control. A play as big as Canada, resonating with our own history.
