Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
Welcome to a bold new Lear for the 21st century. The leafy green oaks of Topanga makes for a memorable evening of thrilling theater as actress Ellen Geer (Harold and Maude, Medium) assumes the title role as aging Queen Lear, who divides her kingdom to test the loyalty of her three loving sons. With its daring reversal of genders, Theatricum’s Lear is an insightful meditation on power, love, aging and the role of men and women in society. An L.A. Times critics’ choice, Lear has been called “a 360-degree, swivel in your seat, visually entertaining ride” (Eye Spy L.A.), and Geer’s groundbreaking performance has been hailed for its “intensity and heartbreak” (Los Angeles Times).
