Murphys Creek Theatre, known for producing Shakespeare\u2019s greatest works over the past 30 years, is finally bringing the thunderous King Lear to its stage.<\/p>\n
Revenge, rage, grief, and delusion storm upon the boards of Murphys Creek Theatre as Don Bilotti takes the stage as one of theater\u2019s greatest tragic heroes, King Lear. Robbie Allen returns to direct Shakespeare\u2019s classic drama about a King ready to turn his realm over to his three daughters. His plan is simple: Give the grandest slice of his kingdom to the daughter who loves him most. But honeyed words and hubris blind Lear to the true motives of those around him, plunging king and kingdom into a hell of betrayal, madness, and unspeakable acts\u2014Lear explores what happens when man\u2019s law and nature’s law collide. When man\u2019s ego and lust for power are met with the natural laws of the universe and explores what happens when we humans are left with nothing. With consequences that reveal the worst and best in human nature.<\/p>\n
First planned for MCT\u2019s 2020 season, both Robbie Allen and Todd Thomas have been eager to bring this production to life after two years of being dark.<\/p>\n
