Scripts in Play Festival: Lear

Performance Dates

Lear by Edward Bond
Directed by Anne Nottage
Limitless power leads to bloody consequences in Bond’s visceral, poetic retelling of Shakespeare’s epic tragedy. With references to atrocities of the 20th century, this 1971 epic is scarily prescient and as chilling as ever.
