Bard in the Barracks presents the second show of our 2011 season, the play that many consider Shakespeare's greatest accomplishment, King Lear. A dark fairy tale about a kingdom that descends into chaos through the unwise choices of its ruler, King Lear stars Bard veteran John Ball in the title role. Returning to the concept that proved so popular with audiences for our last two shows, Macbeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear will unfold at several different locations in the park, with audience members led from scene to scene. Notably, however, this year's action is concentrated mainly in a single area of the park, meaning walking distances will be short and the terrain quite easy to traverse. With the play finishing after sunset, all of the suspense, excitement, and pathos of Shakespeare's most profound tragedy will reach its conclusion under the stars in a stunning torchlit finale.
Awesome job, mate! The editing in the storm is killer....and the eyes....oh man, the eyes...
