King Lear's entering his twilight years, and it's time for him to divide his kingdom among his daughters. (Of course, if we've learned anything from modern shows like Succession, giving up the throne is never that simple.) The Original Practice Shakespeare Festival brings King Lear outdoors, interpreting the Bard's βwork in the classic First Folio style (that means limited rehearsal, an onstage prompter, and a fast-paced, improvisational feel). This one's a tragedy, folks, so prepare for your fave characters to croak in the end.
