King Lear
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Alison Dornheggen
Theater Three
Babes With Blades Theatre Company
Visiting Company

King Lear, in order to “unburdened, crawl toward death,” chooses to divide the ruling of the kingdom between his three daughters via a verbal joust of who loves him the most. When his youngest daughter Cordelia does not meet the standards he expected her, chaos, greed and betrayal creep in to take over the story. Parallel to Lear’s suffering, his friend the Earl of Gloucester is manipulated by one son to turn on his other son.

Running Time: 2 hours 15 minutes with intermission
