After 10 years, Vermont Stage Company brings professional Shakespeare back to Burlington with the Bard's greatest tragedy. An epic tale of loss, betrayal, madness, and the redemptive power of love, King Lear is surely one of the most explosive plays ever written. Starring Donald Grody (Copenhagen) as the mad king, "Andrew Sellon" as Lear's Fool (I Am My Own Wife, The Foreigner) and featuring original live music, this production will bring Lear to life in a vibrant and visceral new way. When Vermont Stage brings that energy into the close confines of FlynnSpace, you can be sure you'll be in for one of the most exciting theatrical experiences of the season.
