A deeply personal and riveting interpretation of Shakespeare's masterpiece, by John Scott and starring New York dance legend Valda Setterfield. In this reinterpretation of the Shakespearean classic, Setterfield gives a moving performance that explores the unravelling of a universe, parental love, fear of death, enlightenment, ageing and dementia. Toppling the gendered hierarchy, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia are portrayed by three virtuosic male dancers.
