King Lear (2008)
"God, what a show!" "Expertly performed...The emotional impact was great." - Ithaca Journal Breaking its pattern of alternating between comic and tragic plays, the Ithaca Shakespeare Company followed up its 2007 production of Hamlet with King Lear — Shakespeare's astonishing vision of human existence in a world tearing itself apart through violence, betrayal, and the lust for power. "It couldn't have been any better." An epic tragedy of family, extreme cruelty and extreme loyalty, self-knowledge gained through suffering...and the fleeting fragility of joy. "Brilliant and moving. You're the best!"
