By Chloe Rabinowitz | Date July 29, 2022
“Translating King Lear was a dream as it is my favorite Shakespearean drama,” said Marcus Gardley. “I am elated to be able to share this timeless story with the Bay Area and to have two of my favorite directors at the helm-Eric Ting and Dawn Monique Williams. We have the honor of presenting this epic and placing it in The Bay at a pivotal time in our community’s history. The Bay Area is the perfect location for LEAR because of themes concerning class, the wealth gap, and the importance of family, community, and legacy. I am certain that audiences will have an incredible time experiencing LEAR. It has been a long time since black odyssey and it’s great to be back home doing another classic!”
