Nearly Lear archiveWhat if the great and tragic story of King Lear were to be told by the King's closest companion - his own Fool? Seen through the eyes of Lear's devoted clown, Norris, the story becomes not only poignant and tragic, but also mischievous, tender and achingly funny. An emotional roller coaster of a ride - 'Nearly Lear' confounds expectations of what a Shakespeare play 'should' be and uses exuberant storytelling, music, song and film, as well as Shakespeare's rich poetic text to take its audience firmly into the heart of this great story. Welcome to a Lear that is both profoundly accessible and fun, while serving the great spirit, language and emotional core of the play.
