With a passionate command of Shakespeare’s verse and startlingly powerful physicality, Debs Newbold’s storytelling will catapult you deep into the world of Shakespeare’s epic tragedy in King Lear Retold.

Tell me my daughters, which of you…doth love us most?

An old king, afraid to be old. A daughter abandoned for speaking plainly. Two sisters warped by ill-treatment. A kingdom in turmoil. When Lear resigns his position by dividing his kingdom in three, he puts an outrageous test to his daughters. Their answers are not all that he expected. What he discovers about himself he does not wish to know.
