King Lear is a play made famous by its protagonist, but it also boasts three of Shakespeare’s most fascinating women. What does the story look like when you see it through their eyes? Using the original text and live music, this bold retelling of King Lear will present Shakespeare’s tragedy in a new light. Follow three daughters on a disorienting journey through a landscape that is riddled with alienation and domestic heartbreak. Lear’s Daughters brings you a play about family, where Lear himself is at once centre stage, and nowhere to be seen.
