King Lear is ready to retire and divide his kingdom among his children, but his daughters’ promises of love and duty are not what they seem. Meanwhile, the Earl of Gloucester’s bastard son lays a treacherous trap for his brother. These two old men, blinded by power, must seek wisdom and redemption where they least expect it.
Hamlet Isn't Dead's production, helmed by CWP Artistic Director Zachary Tomlinson, infuses Shakespeare's timeless tragedy with the company’s trademark music, wit, and love.
This production of King Lear is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
