If Destroyed Still True

What’s happening with the king and who’s got the power? How come all those people are dying? What is love? How do we know?

Taking Shakespeare’s iconic King Lear as a starting point, this piece for family audiences creates a bridge between fairytale and reality, between the stories we tell and contemporary events in the real world.
