Center offers a well-acted but ill-conceived ‘King Lear.’

With
its bare bones set and costuming in this 100 seat theater you are in
for an intimate and totally immersing experience of Shakespeare as
you rarely see it. The only way to make it more compelling would be
to assign lines to the audience members. This is truly one of the
best cast and most vivid productions of this outstanding drama. Buy a
ticket and be amazed.

Shakespeare’s King Lear shines with fresh light in this subtle and brilliant Beck Center production. Director Eric Schmiedl has created a new view of this familiar classic by ditching frills, fancy costumes and elaborate sets. It’s nothing like the King Lear you might have been forced to read in school (of course, if you liked it then, never mind this sentence.)
For the full review see King Lear.
