King Lear

23 August @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$15 – $25

by William Shakespeare

Directed by: Brant Eustice

Reimagined in a post-apocalyptic setting, this Shakespeare epic unfolds amidst the madness of a world in ruins.

The sting of betrayal, the tragic downfall of a kingdom… as the King descends into insanity and his daughters’ ambitions spiral out of control, Adelaide’s finest explore the desperation of  power, excessive pride, and the collapse of civilisation.

Director Brant Eustice says, “There is enormous joy to be found in Shakespeare’s universal themes and a brilliance in his writing which not only allows, but also encourages theatregoers to continue exploring the depth, complexity and beauty of his stories in new styles.  Due to a global calamity, civilisation as we view it has collapsed and has returned to the ways of a distant past. We find ourselves in a world which is slowly trying to rebuild itself.”
