Join us for a wildly energetic re-imagining of the classic King Lear by William Shakespeare. Perfect for anyone looking for an introduction to the works of Shakespeare and a lovely refresh to the palate for those Shakespearean connoisseurs.
Come and see this dramatic and comic retelling of the story of Lear as he tries to figure out who his favourite daughter is.
