Kingdum of Lear
Conceived by Chris Beach & Doug Hammett
"An experimental re-imagining of Shakespeare’s great play"


This production is an experimental re-imagining of Shakespeare’s great play. Blinded by his mad lust for power and his belief that he can possess the earth and all its inhabitants, King Lear divides his kingdom pits his children against each other, and puts the very existence of the world at risk. But his wise daughter, Cordella, tries to unite the creatures of the kingdom to save beauty and all natural life in this musical adventure of puppetry, masks, and magic. Can Cordella pull it off? With an ensemble of multi-talented musicians, actors, and dancers, storytelling takes on wild expression and profound meaning.
