The Emelin Theatre Presents NEARLY LEAR, 3/31
On Saturday March 31 at 8pm, The Emelin Theatre presents Nearly Lear – a mischievous, tender and comedic work that upends expectations of what a Shakespeare play should be. The newly named winner of the IPAY (International Performing Arts for Youth) 2012 Victor Award for Outstanding Production, is a theatrical and family event encapsulating all the grandeur of one of Shakespeare's greatest works, King Lear. The story as told by Lear's devoted clown is performed by actor Susanna Hamnett. The performance is for both seasoned theatergoers and kids from 6th grade on up.
ABOUT NEARLY LEAR -- Hamnett has worked professionally in England and Europe and studied extensively with master clowns John Turner and Michael Kennard of "Mump and Smoot." Nearly Lear received its first public performance at the Winchester Street Theatre in Toronto, and has since toured to critical and audience acclaim throughout Canada and the UK, as well as a run on Broadway at the New Victory Theater and at the Sydney Opera House.
