King Lear

King Lear

Presented by Quantum Theatre at Carrie Blast Furnace

Staged amidst the industrial majesty of the Carrie Blast Furnaces, this tight, physical edit of Shakespeare’s text continues Quantum’s tradition of re-envisioning Shakespeare and highlighting the vastness and intimacy of this iconic portrayal of grief, loss, family values gone awry, and descent into madness. King Lear stars Bricolage Production Company’s Co-Founders Jeffrey Carpenter and Tami Dixon as Lear and The Fool alongside a stellar local cast.

May 10 - June 02

Tickets: $60
