Beskrivelse
In 2007, a college theater program mounted a daring deconstruction of Shakespeare's most enigmatic play, King Lear. The resulting performance text moves past the psychological portrait of an aging monarch given us by Modernist interpreters of the stage. In its place, we find a spiritual story, told through the acts of blessing and cursing, that highlights the original pre-Arthurian mindset of the play. Teeming with the sights and sounds of rock music, popular culture, and tribal experience, LEAR ReLoaded finds a new center for Shakespeare's tragedy and thereby brings a new, fresh, and fully contemporary perspective to the play. This photobook is a record of that unique and exciting production complete with photographs, notes, candid backstage photos, and the complete script.
