About this Event

In this two-hour adaptation the tragedy is sharpened to its core: the fraught family dynamics of Lear and Gloucester, two parents whose misguided choices unleash betrayal and heartbreak. Lear’s reckless division of his kingdom and Gloucester’s misplaced trust in her children reveal how pride and blindness can devastate generations. This production offers a fresh perspective on parental folly, loyalty, and love, making Shakespeare’s timeless themes resonate anew.
