King Lear (Alone) 11/21 July #Footlights 18-20 July @anthonyburgess
KING LEAR (ALONE)
Wednesday 11 and Saturday 21 July 2018 at Footlights, Footlights, 48 Kansas Avenue, Salford, M50 2GL.
18-20 July 2018, International Anthony Burgess Foundation, 3 Cambridge St, Manchester M1 5BY
Was Shakespeare right to kill off King Lear at the end of his play? As our starting point we take Kent’s question at the end of the play: “Is this the promised end?”
Lear is on the heath, left alone to once more think about that fateful day and everything that happened since then, retold through the words of Shakespeare.
Now he has just one hour, one hour to decide what his future holds.
This fascinating opportunity takes us along Lear’s ensuing spiritual journey following the news of Cordelia’s death, allowing us to re-examine the original play’s themes and insights from a completely different angle.
By losing the other characters of the original, this play allows us to get inside the very thoughts and feelings of King Lear.
