Description

Description

In a mad attempt to divide his country between his three daughters, the legendary and infamous King Lear, to his great surprise, loses the power of the ruler, the loyalty of his family and his wits! A sumptuous fever dream of the loss of power, of who one was - and the rediscovery of all that in reality should have been.

SHAKES pumps up Shakespeare's famous play “King Lear” with habitually lavish costumes, aggressive family feud and sexy heartfelt '70s music. It is Shakespeare at street level! And there is room for everyone!
