Starring Dennis Raveneau
With original music by Ian Ferguson

An aging king abdicates the throne, but clings to his authority. Betrayal, sedition, and avarice plague the kingdom, and the storm surges on, inside and out. Starring Dennis Raveneau with music by Ian Ferguson, Shakespeare’s King Lear presents the battle of a lifetime: the rage against mortality. Directed by Emily Ernst, Ian Ferguson, & Sara Romersberger
