Baker Theater Workshop presents:
Lear 1x3 ("one by three") offers three takes on Shakespeare's towering tragedy, ‘King Lear’. The first act will be performed three separate times, each with a striking difference.
The King decides to divide up his kingdom, and turn his rule over to his three daughters and their spouses if they profess their love to his satisfaction. "this our fast intent," he tells his court, "to shake all cares and business from our age, conferring them on younger strengths, while we unburdened crawl toward death."
This experimental take on Shakespeare's classic tale deals with the emotions of living with - living under, living at the whim of - a man more and more out of step with reality will be familiar to many.
