Classic Theatre Tour
King Lear divides his kingdom among the two daughters who flatter him and banishes the third one who loves him. His eldest daughters both then reject him at their homes, so Lear goes mad and wanders through a storm. His banished daughter returns with an army, but they lose the battle and Lear, all his daughters and more, die.
This production of Lear was pared down by one hour, focusing on Lear's foolishness. Mackiewicz urged his actors to present the story with emotional detachment.
The production toured to Tokyo (16-18 November), Nagoya (25-26 November), and Seoul (2-5 December).
