Long Beach Shakespeare Company’s Richard Goad Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
Considered by many to be Shakespeare’s best work, King Lear depicts an aging monarch’s descent into madness as his family and country are torn apart by the ambition and jealousy of his children. An aging patriarch slowly loses his grip on sanity as his kingdom disintegrates in the wake of his divested power. This sweeping legend depicts the devastating consequences of pride, as King Lear’s hubris and his daughters’ ambitions destroy not just their own family, but an entire nation as well. See this classic tragic masterpiece in the intimate atmosphere of the Richard Goad Theatre.
