Review: LEAR by Marcus Gardley at Cal Shakes
By Steve Murray | Sep. 15, 2022
Cal Shakes and Obie award winner Marcus Gardley present a deconstructed, modern verse updating of King Lear and it’s a visually stunning, marvelously acted update that gives the Bard’s story of betrayal, power and family legacy urgency and import for today’s audience. And its verse is easily accessible, a huge plus.
