Power blinds, arrogance dulls vigilance, and a great inheritance only deepens discord.
Can love and loyalty mend the havoc wrought by human madness?
Blinded by his own ego, King Lear resolves to divide Kingdom among his three daughters. To do so, he devises a contest: the more lavishly each daughter professes her love, the better the share of the kingdom she will receive.
But this is no tale of hereditary monarchy, no royal diary, and certainly no fairy tale about a flourishing kingdom. It is a story of harsh reality shattering sweet illusions. For the parade of flattery and hypocrisy spirals into a catastrophe that engulfs an entire nation.
A single reckless decision becomes the point of no return for every character in William Shakespeare’s tragedy.
In this modern production, the timeless story resonates with fresh and urgent meaning. The play is brought to life with the distinct flavor of Yurii Andrukhovych’s masterful translation.
“The Tragedy of King Lear” at the Left Bank Theatre is an unfiltered, vivid, and profoundly relatable performance for today’s audience.
