Shakespeare by the Sea XXXIV’s production of KING LEAR
Presented by Gary & Katherine Parr
ABOUT THE PLAY: The Shakespeare Festival is proud to present its premiere production of William Shakespeare’s KING LEAR. Caught in a carousel of memory, the head of a dysfunctional royal family grapples with power-hungry children and the threat of losing the empire he created. Real and imagined worlds coalesce, creating a political and personal horror that threatens to swallow the mind of the monarch.
PRODUCTION DETAILS: The Shakespeare by the Sea XXXIV production of KING LEAR took place on July 11 – 14 and 18 – 21 at the Seabreeze Amphitheater in Carlin Park, located at 750 South, Florida A1A, Jupiter, FL 33477
The Shakespeare by the Palms IV encore production of KING LEAR presented by The Village of Royal Palm Beach took place on July 25 – 28 at the Commons Park Amphitheater in Commons Park, located at 11600 Poinciana Blvd, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411.
