book tickets to queen goneril book tickets to KING LEAR
Set seven years before King Lear, Queen Goneril finds Lear's three daughters trying to find their voices while fighting a patriarchal system at odds with their aspirations. In Goneril we find a natural born leader. In Regan a boundary pusher, and in Cordelia a reluctant peacekeeper. How can they find their voices when no one is listening? Queen Goneril by award-winning playwright Erin Shields brings the background into focus, and a previously deafening silence to an irresistible crescendo.
King Lear may be a classic that theatregoers know and love, but you've also never experienced Shakespeare’s greatest work quite like this. As the aging monarch fades into the background, he has one final demand - that his daughters profess their love for him before dividing the kingdom among them. But letting go is hard to do, and he is sent spiralling into madness.
We invite you to take cover with us for these two electrifying shows that will sweep you off your feet with their gale force performances and stormy storylines.
