A body weakens. A mind fractures. A kingdom grows dark.

“These late eclipses in the sun and moon portend no good to us.”

Lear is old. His power is fading. He divides his kingdom, and his daughters too. Which of the raging storms will get to him first? The one in his country? The one in his family? Or the one in his mind?

Using a small ensemble and striking puppetry, this urgent retelling from Most Rare Vision reveals the human tragedy at the heart of Shakespeare’s masterpiece: the pain of decline, the terror of dependence, and the longing to be held even as everything is lost.
