King Lear

Through the lens of the Dark Ages, Shakespeare Frankfurt’s production of King Lear seeks to discover what it takes to achieve genuine change – ideological, social, and even emotional transformation – while navigating a ruthless world of deceit and desire. Using the lush environment of the Botanischer Garten Frankfurt, we will transport you, to a world of sin, violence, deception, and ruthlessness. Along the way, you will discover how the wholesomeness and devotion of a few can change the doomed destiny of a kingdom into one of hope. Wear your best walking shoes and prepare for a summer evening of Promenade Theatre.
